Congrats, weweb.io definitely looks exciting. For anyone interested, recently I had to research opensource visual page builder/websites options and these were top of the list: https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js (React) https://github.com/paperbits/paperbits-core (Full website, uses Firebase) https://github.com/react-ui-builder/react-ui-builder-editor (React) https://github.com/premieroctet/openchakra (Editor for Ch…

cool! There is also https://blocks-ui.com/

I would love to see a Next SSR output here. This would be killer !

I discussed this with the guys at Vercel a few weeks ago, this is definitely something we'll look into when we improve our React support. We'll also enable a one click deployment to Vercel so you can do a Next SSR + deployment on Vercel in one click. This should be possible by the end of Q3 this year.

the one click is secondary. What is more important is the toolchain that bridges marketers + developers using nextjs.

It may happen you wont be able to make this too generic - like all kinds of Vuejs, gatsbyjs, etc etc etc. The toolchains will be different. I would say pick one toolchain and perfect the "developer+marketer collaboration tooling"

Well both for that matter, but this is mostly due to my customers being very careful where they host their data, germany is a bit different in that regard i guess. Still i think that this is totally something that is missing! Maybe CMS Plugins would be nice, could really work well with strapi.

Well the good news is that we already have the Strapi integration! You can try it right away if you'd like :) As for the hosting, right now people ask us directly and we send them their static files, later people will just have to click a button and configure the deployment microservice to deploy the files wherever they want. We didn't plan to enable using weweb on-premise.

I totally can relate and wish you all the best - right time, right solution!

appreciate, thanks and please share your feedback with us if you give the tool a try - that's the most valuable thing we can get from you folks!

That's a really good point. Agreed that we should perfect one solution before extending to other ones. We might start with Nuxt as weweb mainly works with vue.js at the moment. We'll let the community know on our public roadmap: https://weweb.canny.io/

A bit of feedback on accessibility. I tried the 'Hello' template and added a form component (the 'Let's get in touch!' one). It misuses placeholders as labels and the field text is in an extremely light grey against a white background - not just the placeholder text, when I'm typing in them too. It's nigh-on impossible to read, with a contrast ratio of 1.33:1 (WCAG requires 4.5:1).

Do you run accessibility tests on the templates and on the tool itself?
