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
* Professional developers don't want to spend their days on a online GUI like this as opposed to the comfort of a repository and trusty code editor and tools.
* End users, even with a great WYSIWYG UI, may still not be able to make knowledgeable design decisions. Also, even with the best WYSIWYG GUI, sometimes you just need to tweak the source.
We should be building better structured content management systems as opposed to better Dreamweaver-like tools. Structured content also enables other cool things like single-source, multiple-output publishing.
There are a lot of these "headless CMS"s nowadays but I still haven't found one that I really like, I think there's room for improvement.
This is really nice. What's it written in? How did you do the Github social login? Would love to see the code. If you're planning to open source it, there's no downside to making the repo public now. We know it will get better :)
I previously worked as Product lead for a homegrown CMS for one of the large media companies. We built a solution to address a myriad of content types (images, videos, voice, news articles, games, etc), For content in all major languages. I like this, and happy to chat if you want to get a perspective.

Logged in just to say congrats, this attitude is seldom encountered, even among those building their products almost entirely on freely available foundations.
That’s the craziest thing to me. There’s no reason OSS has to be a thing. Here’s to hoping greed never kills it.
To each their own. It’s a cool project.
I’ve spent a lot of time contributing to OSS, created popular OSS projects, and I felt pretty shitty when I realized other companies were using the software to make money and I hadn’t done anything to ensure I was compensated.

I don't know about ludicrous — this is essentially the same USP you get from Squarespace, Wix, etc., but just without the "and we host the resulting site for you" part. In trade for not doing the hosting, it becomes just a native app you can own, rather than a subscription service. Just need a commodity web host to slap it up on.

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.
I'm also falling back into the world of building static marketing sites and I can't say that I found tools that I'm happy with.

You could say it's similar, but only insofar as WordPress+Timber is also similar (i.e. coding a custom site for end users to easily edit content). I'm not sure I understand your second question, but I believe lots of those already exist, and it made more sense for my use-case to just build the site directly from primo.
Maybe I'm missing something but it seems every component in Primo is made by coding HTML and CSS. What's the advantage over simply using a SSG?

What tooling do you use that is sophisticated and cheap? I'm also falling back into the world of building static marketing sites and I can't say that I found tools that I'm happy with.
