Why give this away? You could have a good business. You’re leaving money on the table.

I don't get it. There are dozens of amazing open source projects posted on HN every week, and on average, the ones out of these that are outstanding and could be turned into a business model are countless every month. So I don't understand what makes this project stand out so much that it's like leaving money on the table. (this is the first time I'm seeing a comment where the money is apparently on the table because…

Absolutely. And far too often the profit side chokes the product side.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This looks fantastic. Will the components have to be written in Svelte too? Or would it be possible to bring our own React/Vue components?

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'd rather leave $ on the table if it means enabling independent devs (especially those in developing economies) to make $$$

<3 that is admirable.

Tried it and created a site but when I click on the site it sends me back to the homepage. Not sure if I'm doing something incorrectly. This looks really cool!

Thanks! Do you mean it shows you a login screen? https://imgur.com/a/wD2ccQP Because in that case you just need to log in again (since auth doesn't transfer across subdomains).

It sounds great, but the permissions it needs is too much for me: > Repositories > Public and private > This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data. Would it be possible to use deploy keys for specific repositories instead?

Very much agree - looks cool - butttt private access is a lot ask...

I'm getting a completely blank page?

I would expect a static site generator (or at least any one I would choose to use) to create pages that do not require javascript.

Edit: My bad. Still, for a landing page for something like this, wouldn't you want to eat your own dogfood?

It doesn't require JS, so that's odd. Do you have JS turned off? It's using instant.page in the bundle, but I would expect that to fallback to the default behavior.
