This is really impressive. It seems like Medium kicked off this block interface and I'm a big fan of the design trend. It's great for power users while not being too intimidating.
Asking because my startup has invested a lot into building our editor with SlateJS, so I'm always curious what other teams settle on.
Wow, this is really well done. Seems like you have some very talented React developers on the team :)
I’m very impressed with what you’ve discussed here. I think there’s a real market for no-code website builders that are user-friendly. How do you justify charging $144/year for a static site? Carrd.co offers similar features and charges $19/year for their Pro plan. Serving a static site is basically free. If your editor itself is that valuable, why not sell the editor as a software package and let me take my built si…
You cannot create multiple pages and link them together. Unsurprisingly, most Carrd websites I see are promotional of some kind, linking out to a bunch of third party sites, or Amazon affiliate links.
Looks very cool! Did you base it on an opensource editor or did you build it from scratch? Asking because my startup has invested a lot into building our editor with SlateJS, so I'm always curious what other teams settle on.
What was the reason for going with React components? I thought those were for web apps with a lot of interactivity and changing states. I don't know much about React/Vue beyong the fact that they use a virtual DOM, so I'm curious.
My experience is with WYSIWIG tools like Dreamweaver and more recently, Bootstrap Studio, which includes all the UI elements of the BS library. Those let you build standard websites where HTML and CSS are separated. What was the reason for going with React components?

We use React because our editor is built in React (which does have a lot of interactivity and changing states), and so, since it's a WYSIWYG editor, the user will be seeing how their site is rendered as they are editing it, so we render their site in React as well. Also, we are using this React framework, Next.JS, which have a functionality to generate static pages from our React component. At the end of the day the React does get compiled into static pages in HTML/JS/CSS. I'm not sure if this answers your question though, would be happy to answer more questions
I'm curious as to how you all are providing SSL for custom domains

Thank you! We're basing it off the price of other website builders. (For example, Webflow's Basic plan is $12 without their CMS feature). From what I know, Carrd only give you 1 page per site. (We're also building our own CMS feature right now :D) And yes, it's the editor itself that is our biggest selling point, and we did have users who preferred to use the editor as a software, and then export the code and host th…
