Merry Christmas HN! Tinykit is a self-hosted, self-contained alternative to Lovable/Replit/v0 designed for building small personal utility and CRUD apps (basically a "tiny app stud…

Ahh okay that makes sense. Just updated it, thanks.

Thanks for making it! And that's great to know - I've always wondered

Is your concern with the fact that clients can lay out their sites with blocks? Note that they can't edit any of the visual aspects unless you create a field for those specifically…

haha good point, but no it wasn't intentional. Wanted to replace the hot red & black design I had before with something besides blue.

That's true, but it does communicate something important to companies and individuals looking to use, contribute, or build on the project to say what kind of open source it is, rat…

thanks so much swyx!

Could you elaborate? Tailwind CSS is MIT but it's still under a for-profit company.

> However, based on my long experience, you really don't want your client to touch the HTML/CSS of your site. Certainly, and in the same vein you don't want your client touching th…

It's hard to think of something I wish I knew earlier tbh. Svelte (and SvelteKit) are just so simple and approachable that I feel like whenever I need to do something new I can jus…

That's awesome! So glad you like it

I definitely understand with the struggle to balance design freedom and brand identity (or good design). But wouldn't you still have the issue of content editors wanting to right a…

Primo itself is a SvelteKit application, so I don't know how possible it would be to run it on a LAMP server, but you could certainly deploy the static sites it generates on one.

I agree! That's why Primo generates static HTML & CSS & only includes [vanilla] JS when its necessary to hydrate any interactive components. All using the Svelte compiler under the…

good point, shame I can't edit the title

Possibly for the database but authentication and file storage would still need to be taken care of

Ah yeah I forgot Dreamweaver does give you access to the code, in that regard it's similar. But, speaking as a user of Primo (and echoing what I've heard from a lot of other users)…

I just tried it out with web components using Lit and it seems to work pretty well ( https://i.imgur.com/PFvMgFp.png ), allowing you to pass in on-page editable fields. But I'd be …

This looks perfect! Just signed up

Totally understand the interpretation, but if you take a closer look I think you'll find Primo is actually the opposite. Site builders like Dreamweaver, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, …

Thanks so much! Would love to hear how it works for you & help where I can. Lots still to come :)

The biggest difference from any existing CMS is the integration of a code-editor and Svelte components, but also the on-page editing is more user-friendly than most CMSs or site bu…

No, you’d use an external service for stuff like that (I use Getform for emails).

Thanks! I could definitely see the value in that. Once we make it possible to fetch content dynamically it should be easy to fetch Markdown from a repo and render it anywhere on th…

I’ve always appreciated how Svelte keeps things as simple as possible without sacrificing capability, and how that results in more productivity and enjoyment in building. Really th…
