Not signing in "with google" or "with github" or any other unrelated 3rd party. If there's no "with email" then its goodbye. Probably a fine product though...

for privacy reasons? Afaik github is gdpr compliant ... or is there some other problem?

I don't own either service.

What is Radix?

https://www.radix-ui.com/ The main offering is their primitives ( https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives ): essentially skeletons of common components that plain HTML makes difficult to style. They take care of cross-browser compatibility and accessibility and you apply your CSS to their wrapper element. (generally the term for this is headless UI components) Most recently they released a styled version of those primiti…

For React. Not mentioned even on the documentation page unless you dig for quite a bit.

Personally I refuse to signup just to check out something I'm only passively interested in, and I will never understand why startups do this. I imagine they're immediately turning away >80% of potential customers vs. just letting people try out the damn product

I am not understanding the value of the open source builder, if I am not able to download the code and host it on my own. What does the opensource gives me additionally apart from integrating the studio on my own website. The hobby/free plan already has unlimited projects, pages and team members. Looking into the builder, I cannot see the code but just the css. Would have been good if I could create one of components…

it’s open source you can add the feature to download the code yourself if you want it. being open source is also just a good thing in itself because it’s contributing to the total body of code available for others to extend and use in whatever way they want.

I don’t understand why downloading code is such a difficult feature for a website builder — I get the competitive aspect. BUT! It would bring so many users to your system and really would be great marketing — why not compete by giving people what they want and just practice love in not lock in? Especially when you’re already there with the OSS license?

Seems a real missed opportunity.
