In light of the recent outages on Github it will be anything but blazingly fast.
I’ve been moving towards implementing an API based CMS, specifically prismic.io which allows me to setup content elements that marketing staff can edit. Can you explain a bit more about the non-tech user experience for content editors? Would love to find a magic Wordpress replacement with a proper git & tailwind supported workflow for devs and a simple interface for content editors. I’m hoping this fits the bill.
Seems like it should be right up your alley. Here's a gif of what content editors see: https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9 So there's a simplified toolbar (no dev stuff) but they can still add page sections and components from the component library. And when they edit components they only see the fields. You'll be able to control which stuff they have access to in the future.
I'm curious to learn more, but I wish to opt-out from 3rd party trackers beforehand - there doesn't appear to be any method to do this, so am I (and any other Europeans in the same boat) entirely unwelcome on your site? Or am I missing the feature (I did try and look)?
>Build to Github: Anytime you make code or content changes, a blazing fast static bundle gets built out to Github where you can deploy it to your host of choice. In light of the recent outages on Github it will be anything but blazingly fast.
Why give this away? You could have a good business. You’re leaving money on the table.
Excited to try this. Nice work!

- Is it possible for the generated static site to be HTML+CSS only (no JavaScript)? - How optimal/minified is the generated code? - FYI, if you have third party cookies blocked, logging in with GitHub will fail (the login popup opens then immediately closes with no error indication). While failure might be expected, it would be nice to give the user a hint on what might have gone wrong.
- The static site is actually just html/css (and js, if you have any). any ideas on how I could make that more explicit? - It's pretty optimal. It's not minifying the HTML so you can see the tree in Github and see changes. But PurgeCSS gets run on the bundle before it builds out, so your css should be as small as possible. - Hadn't considered that, thanks!
That's great to hear. I've used some generators that generate bloated junk (especially if they're WYSIWYG-ish). I'm terrible at messaging, but something along the lines of mentioning that (1) it let's you decide what you use (i.e. it doesn't force you to use/generate JavaScript), and (2) it avoids bloat and only includes what you use.
Hi HN. primo is an IDECMSCLSSG (short for IDE, CMS, Component Library, Static Site Generator) I’ve been working on for a few months. The idea came from wanting to host a Notion page at a domain name and not being able to. Once I made the initial version - a basic text editor - the rest of the features just came naturally (except for the SSG, which came from not wanting to deal with hosting). I’d written off freelance…
I'm impressed by how thoughtful the design and implementation is. Good work! I look forward to seeing this grow. What's the idea behind calling it Primo?
