I don't know if this makes sense, but I imagine a "visual website builder" that works with components, like React Components.
Each visual part of the site, in each page, has a component. That component may be just static text or image, or it can run code before rendering something.
That should be enough to start.
- fiatjaf 10y agoThere could be premade components, but the real thing is to let people write code actually. Non-technical folks may be able to write small pieces of code, I guess, even if they're just copying and pasting, then modifying. The code run in each component should be able to talk to a database (locally or over the wire), act on global page parameters or React to form submissions.
- fiatjaf 10y agoTechnical support could also be given, in such a way that if each component is independent and runs a small piece of code that is transparent to the user and the developer who's supporting the user, it should be straightforward to help users. Since each component is independent, it should be clear to the user what he is trying to do in that component specifically. Since it is clear, the technical support could tackle that problem in no time.
