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 am probably not the target group because have no idea what your project does. IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse? What language is supported? CMS like WordPress, right? Component Library - you mean UI components? Like Material Design or React components? SSG is the only one that makes sense :)

I don't remember the last time I got such a chuckle out of a domain name, but this one is great.

I don't care for it. But might not be target audience.

If you need any inspiration from similar products (I was building this exact thing with a friend for the last week or so, gonna toss that in the bin now haha): https://grapesjs.com/ https://pinegrow.com/tailwind-visual-editor/ Here's a video of what we were working on, if anyone's curious: https://streamable.com/9elv76 I swear the zeitgeist/collective unconscious is real.

That's rad. What did you use to build it?

Thanks! Couldn't believe my luck on that one

Does Google treat .af (Afghanistan) as an international domain though? Not sure if they take the TLD into account much anymore when determining the regional focus of a page, I know some TLDs like .io and .ai are treated as non-regional, not sure about .af though. Problably not a large problem though, just haven't seen many .af product sites so far (really great, short domain name otherwise).

Using ".af", the top-level domain for Afghanistan, so your domain is pronounced "primo dot A.F." is a little on the nose.

In terms of connecting to data sources I would rather decouple the querying and security layer. Companies are going to be focusing more and more on integrations. So if we have an integration layer in rest or graphql it would make building complex rich apps a much nicer experience. Basically what you have here is a competitor of many dashboarding tools like Tableau or PowerBI. I know you are thinking wordpress and cms, but these tools will eventually power dashboards as they blend with web apps.

While I understand wanting the site you create within Primo to work without JS, are you legitimately expecting that a web-based IDE is going to work with JS disabled?

Is that project front page an IDE?

It's part of the app since it also serves as the dashboard once you log in, but ideally it would be separate

Thanks! And no not at all, just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Although yes, I have it on the roadmap to be able to plop in React/Vue/Svelte components instead.

I would love to migrate from headless Wordpress + Gatsby to this when you start supporting React. Wordpress has a new editor I was hopeful for, but it's a nightmare.

I've only used it very briefly, but I thought it was nice to use. What do you dislike about it?
