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?
Part of the problem is the drain of the plugins they load up, but invariably Wordpress would be far less useful to them without those plugins, so they just end up wrestling with it all the time wishing there was an alternative.
The problem with website builders is that they do not suit anyone, except maybe when you need quick, "good enough", perhaps one-off web site. * 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 wit…
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to page builders. As far as I can tell, most of then try tackling the problem of expensive development by enabling nontechnical users to build sites in one of two ways: customize with a GUI (which is either comically limited or harder-than-code complex) or choose from an endless list of pre-built components/templates (which just turns one development hour into three research…

Curious if you've used Contentful ( http://contentful.com ) or Dato ( https://www.datocms.com ) yet - and if you have, what your biggest issues were with them. We've used Contentful extensively basically since it's inception, and have toyed around with Dato enough to know what the offering is. We have our own list of missing pieces for both but am always curious about other's experiences.
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…
When you say "CMS", do you have (or look to have) CMSey features such as language translation support and approval workflows?
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?
Agreed.. No way you’re getting access to private repos, ever. Too bad, looks like a really good product.
In terms of connecting to data sources I would rather decouple the querying and security layer. Companies are going to be focusing more and more on integrations. So if we have an integration layer in rest or graphql it would make building complex rich apps a much nicer experience. Basically what you have here is a competitor of many dashboarding tools like Tableau or PowerBI. I know you are thinking wordpress and cms…
