I appreciate the feedback and I think that's the most critical question for me to answer right now. I think Web Factory is more customizable so you can change the majority of the styles to create unique designs. I hope that as I continue to iterate on it, it becomes easier to use than alternatives and it's slightly cheaper than Webflow and Squarespace. The AI part of it is still a work in progress for future updates, but I'm building a system that can convert Figma Designs into source code to automate web development. I think updating the landing page and finishing the desired features is a great idea. Thank you!

The design of the website is more customizable as you can change the majority of the styling properties for any element of the website. I haven't built anything to optimize the sites for SEO, but that's a great idea. I'm currently finishing contact form functionality where you get form submissions built into the application or set a custom action attribute to send them to your own url.

Thank's for the feedback, there's also another AI Video generation called Synthesia as well so I decided to change it Web Factory

Yeah, I apologize for the confusion, I decided to change the name to Web Factory AI since I made the post but can't edit the title or description.

I think websites are still the best way of processing and communicating information for AI and humans alike

I tried using puppeteer in nodejs with a loop that opens a bunch of pages and recorded the response time on the server which helped me find that the source of the problem was the docker deployment of it in my case.

Yeah, I had to quickly setup a new server deployment and replace the previous domain name but should have something up for now.
Re:Show HN: Synesthesia – Visual Website Builder on Monday January 23, 2023 @01:49AM (#34486209)
That's a good question, the design is fully customizable so you can't edit most CSS properties in the editor. I'm also planning future updates that includes a system for automatically generating a virtual DOM serialized in JSON from Figma files which can be built into a website or application

I like the idea of creating a demo-only mode so people can actually get a feel for it without the friction of registration. I'll also look into product-led growth more, thank you!
