There's a lot of tooling being built. uniform.dev and outsmartly.com for personalization, GraphCMS for content federation across data stores, etc. It's still pretty early days for the ecosystem.

Absolutely, the Jamstack ecosystem is just beginning.

I've built a competing tool but I will say I love what you guys are doing with open sourcing some of your components etc. Also love seeing Vue! It is game changer for us at WeBase.

Lots of opportunity in this space... best of luck to you!

I think you’ve definitely identified the problem correctly. I’ve complained about this problem before on HN, since it’s the only place where people are wise enough to not get swept up in the latest hype train. If you want to do any regular content marketing/blogging, custom landing pages for SEO, a/b test copy, or even just update the design of your site...Jamstack paired with an enterprisey headless CMS is just an a…

Agree. I recently refactored WeBase [1] to be 100% Jamstack compliant so it can serve as the UI site builder for platforms like Netlify. But it is targeted at "no-coders" instead of coders given how out of balance the supply and demand is for software developers. We need more powerful tooling for professionals without coding skill to be able to build and maintain. And while Webflow is a really nice tool it still feel…

yay! good luck with webase, good vibes in the name too :D

Congratulations! Are the finished-product sites exportable?

yes they are exportable, but it is on a on-demand basis. Not so many users asked for it yet, so we didn't build this feature in self-service but it is in our backlog. We want to make sure anyone can deploy the static files on their own infrastructure, but we are just waiting for more demand to build it in self-service. You can actually go upvote for it on our public roadmap: https://weweb.canny.io/feature-requests

Yes! Following your comment I just created a new page for that (:D), you can sign up here: https://www.weweb.io/partner-program/

I just tried it but got a “something went wrong” error

correct! It should be working now :)

Great product. At first I was kinda skeptical about it. My initial reaction was "hmm ok, another one of this no code tools competing with Webflow".

The market is slowly getting crowded. Webflow has been growing like crazy. And Wordpress creators are not falling behind. Divi and Elementor are constantly improving their products, they have a huge community, and they just work.

Spoiler: Weweb hits the problem very well.

I've been lucky enough to play around with it for the past few weeks. The number one thing I looked for was not all the fancy tools for Vue js, design systems and headless integrations (even though my team needs them). It was not feeling overwhelmed whenever I'd need to use it.

That's what happens to me with tools like Wordpress. Every time I have to update a Wordpress site at scale I'm like "shit, here we go again".

They nail it at this pain point. Weweb is dead simple, and it just works.

I'm excited to give this a shot at scale, using a large design system, updating data regurarly with a tool like Airtable, and using custom components with Vue Js.

Great work Weweb folks!

oh wow, thank you. You are comparing us with giants and I feel we still have a lot of work to do on the editor to catch up with them. But we are working hard to ship improvements fast! Feedback are always welcomed, that's how we improve, so, much love for our early adopters <3
