   I'm not sure I'd say the SSG is the only difference. Squarespace et al target non-technical users directly, so most of the code is abstracted away (which makes anything outside of the rails virtually impossible to edit). primo is

   That's a great point I hadn't considered, thank you.

   It's part of the app since it also serves as the dashboard once you log in, but ideally it would be separate

   That's rad. What did you use to build it?

   Good question. I don’t want to link the small-biz sites I’ve made with it, but I’ll build/publish the demo page in a sec. Here it is: https://primocafe.vercel.app/ And here's the repo: https://github.co

   It’s not, because it contains the app file (albeit codesplit), but that would be neat

   That’s the craziest thing to me. There’s no reason OSS has to be a thing. Here’s to hoping greed never kills it.

   Not at all. Will have an individual-access update posted today.

    Yeah definitely. I imagine it’ll just have to auto-build whenever I gets upstream data updates. I’ll make sure to update the docs; it’s pretty simple atm, just invite a user (set them as a content editor or developer) and they can join your

    Oh I see what you're saying. Yes, the app itself runs on JavaScript.

    ProseMirror and CodeMirror. Those guys do great work.

    It doesn't require JS, so that's odd. Do you have JS turned off? It's using instant.page in the bundle, but I would expect that to fallback to the default behavior.

    Thanks! Do you mean it shows you a login screen? https://imgur.com/a/wD2ccQP Because in that case you just need to log in again (since auth doesn't transfer across subdomains).

    Absolutely. And far too often the profit side chokes the product side.

    That makes sense. I'll take a look at that; it's probably unnecessary.

    That's the goal :) But without artificially limiting features.

    I'd rather leave $ on the table if it means enabling independent devs (especially those in developing economies) to make $$$

    Thanks! As far as I remember, I just liked the adjective, and there weren't any webapps out there with the same name, and the domain name was available.

    Many thanks!

    Blazing fast because it's a static site, not because of github. Github's just where you build it to, but once you deploy it to a host (Vercel, Netlify), it doesn't matter if Github goes down.

    I thought I'd removed all of the trackers before I launched. It's just using Goat Counter ( https://www.goatcounter.com/ ) which I believe is European-friendly. did I miss one?

    by mmmateo 6y ago

    - The static site is actually just html/css (and js, if you have any). any ideas on how I could make that more explicit? - It's pretty optimal. It's not minifying the HTML so you can see the tree in Github and see changes. Bu

    Seems like it should be right up your alley. Here's a gif of what content editors see: https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9 So there's a simplified toolbar (no dev stuff) but they can still add page sections and components f

    Totally. Not only made this possible technically but was a huge inspiration.
26. 116.▲
    by mmmateo 6y ago

    Definitely. I thought I'd made it so you only need to give full permission on build, but either way individual repo access is ideal; I'll work on that next. Thanks.

    Thanks! Couldn't believe my luck on that one

    Thanks! And no not at all, just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Although yes, I have it on the roadmap to be able to plop in React/Vue/Svelte components instead.
