Hello again HN! We’ve been working on this tool for several years now and got HN’d in the past ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29563629 ), but we’ve just released it as an o…

As a "no-code sales person," I actually agree. It's why we started on https://plasmic.app , to bridge the gap between low-code and code—we think there can exist low-code tools that…

https://plasmic.app is a soon-open-source visual builder that (uniquely) integrates with codebases. (I work on this!) So you can build within existing apps and use your own arbitra…

Hi! I work on Plasmic. Plasmic's most common use case is actually the same one, letting content editors build pages in your existing website using your React components. Congrats o…

That sounds like Plasmic: https://plasmic.app You register React components as building blocks, and compose them together into websites and web apps.

Thanks for the mention of Plasmic! Indeed, I believe there's a lot of innovation to be had by page builders - Plasmic's approach is to blur the lines between the codebase and the v…

It depends on how extensive the edits/created components are that you want to allow the non-developer to make. https://plasmic.app experimented with bringing together design+code i…

There are other approaches. Tools like https://www.plasmic.app/ give you a drag and drop page builder, but integrated into your codebase so that you can drag and drop your own Reac…

https://www.plasmic.app/ has done this since its inception. It is a page builder that has drag and drop content editing, integrates with arbitrary codebases and modern frameworks l…

Plasmic: https://www.plasmic.app Recently it started merging a chakra UI contrib as well: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic/pull/51

I don't follow how HTML comes anything close to expressing dynamism, composition, state, Turing completeness, etc. Sure, you can encode whatever you want inside of data attributes,…

Not true for all such tools. Though like a sibling comment suggests, part of the issue is that no-code is defined too broadly to include everything under the sun. I work on a no-co…

The problem is that no-code is not well-defined. It's used to label everything from Excel to Airtable to Zapier to Webflow to Bubble to Retool. And within that umbrella, some of th…

The API-based integration does track impressions. Besides that, you can also use codegen, which doesn't.

(Copying response from elsewhere) It's headless as in "headless CMS" - Plasmic is decoupled from your frontend stack, which you run and own. The content you design is delivered via…

You may be interested in https://plasmic.app/casestudies . Note that Plasmic is different from these because it's a full free-form web design tool, so it doesn't restrict you to bl…

Really not trying to mislead/annoy - Plasmic's client libraries are open source and on GitHub, but not the visual editor currently. Will add clarification to the repo, but any othe…

It's the opposite - it has no vendor/hosting lock-in. You run and own your own frontend stack, hosting, etc. Plasmic is a visual editor that plugs into your stack.

It's different from TinaCMS because it's a full free-form page builder/web design tool. The developer doesn't need to write any CMS template/schema code. TinaCMS is like other head…

It's headless as in "headless CMS" - Plasmic is decoupled from your frontend stack, which you run and own. The content you design is delivered via API into your site/app.
