I imagine this is similar in concept to Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, etc? As in, a tool to build a custom static website with easily editable content.
Since this needs a lot of code to actually create a site, why not create a CMS instead that can be connected through an API to a SSG?
- mmmateo 6y agoYou could say it's similar, but only insofar as WordPress+Timber is also similar (i.e. coding a custom site for end users to easily edit content). I'm not sure I understand your second question, but I believe lots of those already exist, and it made more sense for my use-case to just build the site directly from primo.
- pier25 6y agoMaybe I'm missing something but it seems every component in Primo is made by coding HTML and CSS. What's the advantage over simply using a SSG?
- yasoob 6y agoIf I understood it correctly, the devs create the components and the end user (editorial people) can edit the content in a nice editor. Like this: https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9 https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9
- mmmateo 6y agoWell, primo is an SSG, but some advantages over other SSGs: no setup for Tailwind/PostCSS, no setup for js modules/libraries, reusable components, coding from the browser, encapsulated component styles, developing components in isolation, wiring up components to fields in seconds, and a CMS your mom can use. More to come by version 1.
