News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Honestly, I didn’t invent anything particularly new, but I deeply appreciate your words. Thank you.

Really happy to see people building great things in this space and pushing it forward. Wishing you and Templatical the best!

As someone who built a similar open source project (grapesjs), this looks really good

Even with LLMs, generating raw HTML emails that render correctly across major email clients is still surprisingly hard, so great choice going with MJML.

Yeah totally, we see the same thing. Most people don't phrase things the way an engineer would but funny enough, LLMs are often better than us at interpreting non technical instructions. What makes a big difference is giving the model context about what the user is actually looking at (current page, selected section, etc.), so it doesn’t have to guess. That way has a decent chance of doing the right thing.
Tools like Lovable are great for spinning up apps, but our focus is different: we’re mainly aiming at websites. Instead of generating a full React app, the editor outputs HTML/CSS and gives you both visual editing and AI assistance, so you’re not stuck relying only on prompts for small changes.

Thanks to everyone for the advice, what do you think about "Build your projects and publish them instantly online"?
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @05:16PM (#18019217)
Yeah I think I got the point, it sounds good but it's pointless
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @05:11PM (#18019164)
Thanks for the great feedback, I'll try to fix issues you mentioned and make it more reliable
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @05:02PM (#18019102)
Yeah thanks, this is exactly what I've done :)

> i see you use ck editor, how was integrating it with page builder?

I made a plugin for the editor and is open source https://github.com/artf/grapesjs-plugin-ckeditor so try to check it out

> how do you host users projects ? i mean is it all in one one virtual machine or something?

Yeah, kind of

Thank you very much for the advice, I'll try to make it more clear
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @09:42AM (#18015192)
Should be fixed now

Thank you very much, really appreciate your kind words. BTW I'd rather prefer to keep the "forever free" tier, there you have to use the subdomain and there also "Made with Grapedrop" label, so more people will use the free tier more visibility I gain, at least this is what I think.

ps. the price format should be solved :)

Thank you very much. About the font, can you share what browser/device/OS do you use?
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @08:04AM (#18014476)
I use Sparkpost to send emails, seems just like their links got a bad reputation, so in this case, it's just a false positive. I submitted a ticket
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @07:22AM (#18014231)
A good reason to start share your stuff as soon as possible :)
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @07:19AM (#18014222)
Thanks for your feedback, especially for the what/why approach, it's somehow natural to think about it but showing it more explicitly might be a great point for the potential customer
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @06:52AM (#18014107)
You build your webpage (like you'd do it in grapesjs), which might be even your personal page, then you can decide to export it or just assign a subdomain (custom domains are not available in free accounts) and view it online
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @06:31AM (#18014015)
Just to point few of them: 1. Quick deploy of the site (I mean you don't need to deal with servers, installations, and stuff) 2. They can start collecting leads easily
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @06:27AM (#18013998)
With the free account, you can choose any subdomain and you have automatically the HTTPS enabled
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @06:16AM (#18013946)
Thank you very much, I'm submitting right now
Re:Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source on Tuesday September 18, 2018 @06:04AM (#18013900)
Thank you, now I know what I should not change :)
