   Love the copy on the landing page & the framework agnosticism. Definitely trying this soon.

   How does it compare to writing on paper?

   Thanks for the interest! I’m in the process of stripping the tool out of the online service so it can easily be self-hosted or run locally. I’ll make sure to enable email auth in Discourse once the source is published.

   Thanks for sharing. Makes me wonder if primo could use GitHub branches for the same application.

   Thanks! Focusing on the core features was definitely the hardest part.

   Not at all, I was more speaking to companies that lean heavily on OSS without giving back, which sounds like your experience. Would love to pick your brain sometime if you’re open to sharing any lessons you’ve learned along the way.

   You hit the nail on the head when it comes to page builders. As far as I can tell, most of then try tackling the problem of expensive development by enabling nontechnical users to build sites in one of two ways: customize with a GUI (which

   Exactly. One of the ideas with this is that someone with “just” HTML/CSS/JS could make/sell a usable, CMS backed site without having to jump through all the hoops the modern web demands of them, while at the same time not bei

    Hope primo works for you. Would love to hear if there’s anything it’s missing the mark on.

    Well, 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 is

    That sounds intense. I’d love to chat; will email you tomorrow.

    Thank you. It’s written in Svelte & uses Tailwind. Just getting some input before I bite the bullet, should be public in a week or so.

    Someone in the Discourse just mentioned seeing that error when they click ‘Create Component’ when the editor isn’t focused. Should have a fix tonight.

    I’ve enabled just public repos for now, and individual repo access is next on my plate.

    Thanks! And I haven’t tried that use-case specifically but you can definitely fetch any data in a component’s JS and use it to populate its markup. Basically what you’d expect of a cloud IDE, but with the added benefit of managing the compo

    by mmmateo 6y ago

    Correct. As far as I know there aren’t any other tools that do them in tandem. WordPress might be considered an IDE because you can edit the theme/plugins from the dashboard, but I’ve never seen anybody do that for legitimate reasons.

    Whoops, forgot to take that off from an earlier version that was intended to be paid. But I do have a couple ideas for getting funding without artificially limiting the product - the most immediate being corporate sponsors & enterprise

    I hadn't, but there's one up now. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Basically! You could think of it as just being the code-editing part of Visual Studio (but in a browser), an easier WordPress (but less robust, naturally), and a place to put html/css/js components to reuse them elsewhere.

    It just rides the line between simple and powerful incredibly well. It's amazing how much you can do with it out of the box before needing to reach for additional tools. The main pull for me is dev experience, but on top of that, the f

    Absolutely. It almost seems like they were made for each other.

    Not sure I understand, would you mind elaborating?

    by mmmateo 6y ago

    idk how this didn't occur to me. at any rate, you can log in with public access now, still working on individual repo permissions
26. 86.▲
    by mmmateo 6y ago

    Okay, you should be able to log in with just public repo access now. Still working on individual repo access.

    Good question, no idea. The main domain is primo.so, so I think at the very least that should be safe.

    You 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
