Well... his tone was a bit harsh. If anyone saw how much I worked to get this far they definitely wouldn't call me lazy. But I get it... strangers have no reason to trust you and the bar is REALLY HIGH these days even for an MVP. But

You can download the code of a website. I could easily add that feature to the components as well. One cool thing about how this is built is components/templates/websites all have a uniform API and data model so the same editor i

It will exists... I will add some links and make it easy to still use the older tool... it is at /workspace if you want to check it out. The first version is honestly a more complete No Code tool supporting custom databases (like Airta

Yes... I built the original version on Bootstrap and have some abstractions in place to allow using a different CSS framework. One of the goals for the platform is to make it incredibly simple to create new templates that could be sold on o

You can download the site as HTML... it bundles the HTML and CSS in a zip file; but it does not integrate with git in any way. That is an interesting idea for a feature... I've built stuff on top of the Github API before but never to p

Yeah... you can download the code but I still need to make that easier. Thanks for the comment and the encouragement!

Great feedback. The general flow of describing the product and onboarding needs to be improved. I like the idea of a "directory of steps" to make it easy! Also really need to finishing building out the site with more info etc!

Yes... that is how I was thinking about it. The feedback is invaluable even if it is negative because that provides some clarity on exactly what to fix first! I will be doing some serious iterating over the next few weeks to get more polis

100% on the links in the footer not going anywhere. I will get that fixed ASAP. The beauty is that since WeBase has several components and pre-built pages it will be easy! :-) I do believe there is a market for this... just needs more poli

You are right that I need to just do a WAY better job of showing the product on the home page. I honestly just needed to get this out to the world so I can hear comments like these to make sure I am focusing on the right things! Thank you f

There is a lot of subjectivity into what makes a great landing page but I am sure you are right that the current version can be improved. Thank you for the feedback!!

This a good question. Tailwind UI is really nice but it is for developers and requires a developer to benefit from the templates. Shuffle.dev is also nice but again... it is for developers and doesn't support hosting and lots of other

Thanks for the positive response. It does need a good be of improvement but I really just needed to draw a line in the sand and get this launched to get feedback!!!

Hey guys! I've spent the past three months rewriting the WeBase front-end based on TailwindCSS! The original front-end was built with Bootstrap, a tool I still very much appreciate, but as I really started to "get" Tailwind

I remember Bob Lee talking a lot about AOP and dependency injection back in the early 2000's. Dude was brilliant. I really hated to hear the news of his passing at the age of 43.

I'm working on a no-code platform [1]. Given that this space is getting crowded I am starting to investigate adding the ability to create NFTs and make the web3 space more friendly to non-developers which is exciting! (at least to me!

Welcome! Vue is such a pleasure to work with! Love how you can drop it into a page and add JS interactivity inline OR create large scale component based apps!

It is still very common to have an application server that handles the M and the C in MVC, using frameworks like Ruby on Rails or an equivalent in node/python/whatever. Next and other SSR JS tools are great and have gained a lot o

Love this. It speaks to the fact that software solving complex and changing problems is never finished! Adaptability, maintainability, reasonability etc are virtues that are difficult to overstate.
