Makes a lot of sense. I was a contract PM for a company which used Wordpress and off-shore devs to customise it and it was pretty painful. Couple of observations:
1. The Wordpress ecosystem is valuable because of the plugins. How do you envisage enabling such an ecosystem?
2. The beauty of React is with the components. An ideal end-state would be where a non-techie searches and find a React component they like (without having to go through Github) and they can add it to their WYSIWYG editor without even needing to speak to a dev
Wish you all the best
- raphael-gold 6y agoOh wow this flow would be really cool! Both observations are linked in a way: the WordPress ecosystem is really impressive and we'd love to create something similar in the Jamstack universe. To do that we are planning to open a "marketplace" where users could find components, themes & plugins. So, if we enable one-click integrations of components in a user's library, I think you are right that it'd be better not to have to link a Github account as most non-developers won't have one. We will start working on the marketplace sometimes in Spring. We'll probably have our power users contributing first and then gradually open the marketplace to all the developers willing to build for the community.
