So the output is markup, CSS and JS and I can take that and do whatever I want with it? Similar to Bootstrap Studio, if you're familiar with that tool?

I'm intrigued :) Two questions:

- On the VS Code page a coming WordPress integration (?) is mentioned. Can you elaborate on what that is, and went it might ship?

- I didn't see any mention of accessibility. Can you speak to that? Please :)

I love this idea. Simply put there are far too many "web designers" (read: don't know a span from a div) that simply don't add much value. This feels like their far more worthy replacement. Cheers!

I see you submitted the same link yesterday but didn't get any traction. Genuinely curious if HN allows consecutive re-submissions? Couldn't find anything in the guidelines / dang's comments either. Anyway, I'm working on a Show HN myself and it would be great to know if it breaks any rules to submit the same project again especially if it doesn't get traction previously.

Hey, I read in an article that I found on Hacker News that "a small number of reposts is ok." They recommended trying with a different title and waiting 1-3 days between reposts.

What I can recommend you personally is.. don't use "click bait" title. My first submission had this kind of title (even if mathematically it has been correct).

From FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html)

>Are reposts ok?

>If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.

>Please don't delete and repost the same story. Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been submitted in the first place.

Hey,

Yes, we export HTML/CSS and source files (Scss or Tailwind JS config).

Here you have example projects exported: https://shuffle.dev/static/files/example.zip

We will release the WordPress theme export in December. It won't be an integration / WordPress plugin. You'll still use Shuffle online, and when exporting the project, it has the format supported by WordPress (support for navigations, posts, etc.)

Accessibility - There is vast room for improvement.

I recommend you to check the ZIP archive above (you can download it from our website when exporting a project, too) and verify it will work for you.

Dummy question from a non-front-end dev: What is the simplest way to host this project as it is on the web? (as a static page, no additional functionality)

Try out Netlify, their developer experience is excellent and the platform can grow with you if you need more features beyond the free tier.

Are there any similar tools but for simple blogs? I find it very hard to design a simple but not dull blog layout because you don't have many pictures to show like a commercial website.

Hey, you can browse the full catalog of UI components available in our editor via this URL: https://shuffle.dev/components

Maybe you'll find designs for your next project!

Especially, check categories Blog and Content:

* https://shuffle.dev/components/all/all/blog

* https://shuffle.dev/components/all/all/content

Hey,

We export standard HTML/CSS files (or JS / JSX for Material-UI libraries).

You can publish them via Netlify (as mentioned above) or any other hosting for static pages. You can check examples of exported sources here: https://shuffle.dev/static/files/example.zip (the link is also available in our editor when exporting a project)
