   I really like the advice in this. At the same time, I often find it dispiriting to hear "it takes x amount of time", be that 10 years, 10,000 hours or a lifetime. While I understand that it is important to have these metrics preci

   Ah, two of these did get to me: - Pricing, I can never tell whether I'm pricing too low or too high. So I went as low as I could feasibly go, to make sure that price was eliminated as a factor turning clients away. - Don't change

   Hey, thanks for the response. > You identified you're niche wrong, i think. Your description is literally targeted for developers and your landing page too. That's a good point. Being a dev myself, I probably projected what I&#

   > Your effort here is admirable, but I think you have chosen a very hard market to make an impact in. Yup, I like to think I was always quite realistic about the chances of succeeding in this market (mind you, my definition of success is

   That would have been my first question as well. It can work, if you specifically add the hash of that bit of JS to script-src or use the nonce based approach (I never figured that one out). Otherwise it's unsafe-inline, at which point

   If it makes you feel any better, I must disagree with brundolf here and confirm that figuring out "which of these 1,500 DOM elements is the reason that between 321 to 334px width one of my container divs simply refuses to stay within s

   I think there is a lot of undiscovered country left when it comes to website builders. The incumbents like WordPress and Squarespace probably want you to think that the market is saturated and the problem has been solved, but that couldn&#x

   Funnily enough, I guess I use my own website builder to do this.

   I've battled many different rich text editor implementations and have found quill to be the most reliable so far. No issues on Android whatsoever. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

    Thanks for the input! We do actually offer that as well. And at pretty darn competitive rates (because we can build sites very quickly), but have not had any interest from that angle yet either. Yes, we've contacted businesses which ha

    Hey thanks so much for the input. Yes, you have hit upon many points I am aware of. I knew what I was getting myself into when making yet another website builder. Thankfully I can run the thing almost for free, which allows me to play the l

    I don't have one yet. Still working that out! I am certainly monitoring this thread with a lot of interest. My approaches and results so far: - Email marketing. This was done by identifying businesses in the local area (roughly 1,000 o

    While this is definitely a high-effort post, with a lot of useful information, it's sort of missing a huge change that's about to happen with JSON in Postgres 14: SELECT * FROM shirts WHERE details['attributes']

    Hey, thanks for the response. It's a website builder for (very) tech-phobic people. I mean people who consider both Wordpress and Squarespace too complicated. It generates static sites which are then hosted on Cloudflare. It doesn&#x27

    Yup, the whole thing is aimed at people who have big, complicated Wordpress setups for their business-onepagers that never get updated, because whoever built it isn't around anymore and it's just too complicated to use. I built it

    I make a website builder and it is a constant battle to try to keep websites to a certain size. Imagery and video are the biggest enemies. Partly because users don't know the filesizes of their imagery (so we either recompress / r

    For quickly putting together a modular website, you could also try something I've built: https://pinkpigeon.co.uk No-code and based on a range of modules that allow for arranging content in a variety of ways rapidly. You ca

    Very interesting post. How did you deal with the fact that almost all subreddits have a pretty strict self-promotion policy? I am always hesitant to post about my product on any subreddit, because as soon as I read the sidebar rules, one of

    Are you the maintainer? In any case, I'd like to say I really like your landing page, straight forward, excellent layout, delightful imagery :)

    I think WordPress is a fantastic piece of technology / achievement. Just like Windows is as well. And just like with Windows, as you say, the experience of the person setting up the system is what matters. So, of course there are some

    Hey, thank you, you have just corrected a massive misconception I had about SSD performance. My logic always worked like this: if IOPS is input / output per second, surely that means 10,000 IOPS of, say, the usual random 4kb file write

    I went the static site via Hugo -> cloudflare workers sites route. It is so vastly superior to fiddling with hosting a SQL database, plugins, constant updates, etc. I built an entire frontend around it (my username .co.uk) which tries to

    It's so interesting to see just how successful WordPress is. Among developers especially. I look at small business websites all around where I live and it's all WordPress and every single one was made by yet another wordpress-shop

    I mean, I love the insane GB/sec figures, but does anyone else mostly care about IOPS? These state 1.8M read and 1M write, which sounds quite impressive.

    Does this play nice with a Content Security Policy which forbids inline-scripts / styles?

    This is an incredibly useful resource, thank you! A few notes: - The amount of space you get from these hosters is just staggering. I'd be interested to know how many Wordpress sites out there even reach a gigabyte's worth of asse
