I prefer signing in with third party SSO because it's a lower chance of yet another website mishandling my password, though I use a password manager

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
Any product that allows you to consume lots of resources including API calls, interact with other users, or share anything basically needs to be authenticated to avoid misuse. This covers virtually everything. Sign in with google/apple can be virtually painless and only lets them know your email address, name, and profile pic if oauth is configured reasonably and its easy to tell on your side if its not because it as…
I bet they implemented the login anticipating misuse… and like all other startups, there’s only a tiny chance the product would be misused, but a large chance that many people won’t use it due to the login wall.

#36I 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…

#38I 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.
> practice love in not lock in I haven’t heard this phrase before, it’s such a great way to describe how I like to do things, which I would have written as “compete on quality rather than treachery”

Syncing and publishing what? What's so difficult about `git push` which pushes to GitHub and automatically deploys to Vercel? This doesn't look cool, but those two features are not going to be the ones I'll seek after.
Just pushing to github only helps you if you only have static html/css if you wanted to publish a site as gh-page ... I guess you need to clarify your use case

#40Tried Webstudio, I still prefer using Divhunt over any other builder/CMS https://divhunt.com
Clicked pricing. It's all per month - no way to own it / buy - it's a lock-in-lease, where "your monthly bill only increases when you're making more money!"
Pass.
