#2I tried a couple of companies but I just get a blank page and a bunch of JS errors in the console :/

#3This is a pretty solid, simple idea, gotta say. Of all the "quick website" apps, this approach seems like it could get a pretty good result from the get-go, given a good amount of social media / website information available for the business.

#4we're hitting API limits and themes are defaulting to generic - sorry about that, we're working on it

#5Who are you and why would you think I'd trust my business to you?

#6Add a to your landing mayhaps? Takes a little while to figure out that I need my JS on for a proper representation.

Curious, what other quick website apps you know of? Not low code, but quick.
I've seen https://milkshake.app, https://onuniverse.com before and walked away impressed. https://glideapps.com is in a similar domain, but for apps.

Thanks for that, I had the same question mostly because their site is down.. It's to bad you gotta install an app to try or even see the basics of how both of these sites work.

#10Landing page is crisp and precise. I love the idea. Congratulations on the launch.
Auto-complete is fast and relevant. I believe you're boosting local results? That's super nice. The generated webpage is nicely filled with details from Google Maps (?) along with reviews and a contact-us form. I like the overall simplicity of adding and editing subsections of the pages, too. Kudos.
Quick questions:
1. From where'd you scrape data for businesses world-wide, if you don't mind revealing? The data you have (judging by auto-complete) is frankly unsettling but not surprising.
2. There's e-commerce too, and the flow is manual: Upload photos, add price and description. Simple enough. As your product evolves, how'd you plan to manage to keep it that way rather than turn it into a Shopify-clone which most business owners would then need a IT guy to run it for them...?
3. On the pricing page, you mention business plans are coming soon, but the only two features I found that's extra from the free plan are 24/7 support and ...and more. Curious: what more?
4. How long have you been working on this idea? What were you inspired by, initially?
5. How do you generate the pages? Randomly choose a template and fit the data in, or is it powered by AI? I see that no matter what I choose as a Goal among Brand, Leads, and Conversion the template and the structure of the page remains the same.
6. Can you give us a 10000-foot view of your architecture and tools, if that's okay?
7. When you mention personalize the website for each visitor... Is that like ad networks that show relevant ads where you mean to show relevant products? If so, how'd you gather enough data abt a visitor to be sure of the personalization (acquire/gather data from third-parties)? What value do you see that personalization offers? I'm not being skeptical, just want to hear your point of view on this.
Thanks.
