In Firefox I just get a blank page where I assume there should be an editor. There's a toolbar at the top but none of the buttons do anything, and in the console there's the error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e is undefined Ng _User.svelte:34

Same here. On 78.0.2 on macOS 10.15.4

Also the same issue on Chrome for me. I'm on 83.0.4103.116

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 looks amazing! I'm currently building my CV website has a static website with a homemade static site generator, which is sort of working but not as I wish, and I do not have time to improve it. For various reasons existing static site generators do not fit my use case, including that I like to code it myself for fun. So I will surely investigate how I can use your system.

As a general suggestion, if the intended users for your system are also not technical people, I would suggest to give some templates or a library of pre-made components, so that non tech savvy people can build their website with your tool. You could even sell premium components :-)

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.

You may also want to take a look at Peregrine CMS if you are looking for a good head-optional API driven CMS. (http://www.peregrine-cms.com/)

I haven't looked into CMS since ~6 years or so but this pretty much what I would expect from a CMS in 2020.

Through maybe it's focused a bit more then some other systems on (also) supporting a bit more tech savy people. But then in my experience even with CMS targeted a less tech savy people once a change needs to be done which is more then just changing the text it's always passed to the tech savy people anyway.

Through I guess given how primo highlights the IDE, Components Library & Static Site Generator not all web focused CMS do that today??

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

Because lots of us see where this fits in the market. Businesses want to leave wordpress, and wix/squarespace are almost exclusively targeting non-technical users. This type of approach lets a technical person work with the marketing team so that the site can be both easy to update and optimized for business needs. You’re right that good software/service does not automatically mean profit, but you’re missing the unde…

Who says businesses are trying to leave Wordpress? Anyone got any data backing the claim?

I just don’t see it. Ghost already tried and gave up. There’s tons of Wordpress competitors out there. I could be wrong but where’s the data?

Awesome idea. I am looking forward to checking it out once it is open sourced.

Thank you for sharing!

Looks rally nice.

Easy enough for non tech people to change small thinks (like text).

But lets you get "down to business" for all the more complex changes.

I mean it's 2020 toady even kids learn how to code and most companies hire some tech savy people anyway to do the general work in setting up a CMS even if they use one which "should" not need it.
