Y'all remember Macromedia Dreamweaver? Nothing against this particular project, but how many times are we going to recreate a wysiwyg cms. There must be hundreds at this point.

I do, and about 20 other projects since. In my experience far from a solved problem. I mean, I remember IE3 too, how many times are we going to recreate the web browser?

Except we don’t keep making ie3, we’ve actually iterated and it’s now capable of much more. It’s not comparable to the 20 different drag and drop site builders that more or less are providing the same functionality and spitting out similar html

Great product! How is this different from Strapi or Ghost?

The biggest difference from any existing CMS is the integration of a code-editor and Svelte components, but also the on-page editing is more user-friendly than most CMSs or site builders. Specifically: It’s a monolithic CMS, unlike Strapi, so you don’t need to include an SSG to turn your content into code. And Ghost is more of a full-featured service for online publications where Primo would be better suited for smal…

Ohh thanks!

Appreciate it.
