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.

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?

See: curl https://primo.af How is that supposed to fallback? Theres nothing there.

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…

This feels like such a ludicrous concept, but also I love it. I've recently fallen back into the world of building static marketing sites and the tooling is now so sophisticated, cheap and undifferentiated. We're solving the same problem over and over in very similar ways. I generally despise all-in-one solutions, but this use case actually makes a lot of sense at this point.
