> It's a UI builder, not a set of components.

I think it's UI builder that has predefined set of components that user can customise - globally (by customising 'theme' - font family, primary colors etc) or per component (padding, margins, overwriting theme settings). From these components user creates pages/templates. User can create there own components if they want so that's good.

Bu OP doesn't show those predefined components even as images, ever more there's no information how many components there are. And predefined components are important feature of most web builders as they can save a lot of time. Also well designed components (good color scheme, typography, spacing) helps develovers without design skills.

Your landing page is ugly to be honest, half of links in the footer goes nowhere - this is unprofessional and lazy. There's no clickable demo, not even overview of components. Why do you lauch your product at current state? Why submit it to HN?

There are plenty of other web builders based on Tailwind or Bootstrap, often they have free tiers, and you're charging 249$, for what? For 300$ you can get Tailwindui* from creators of Tailwindcss or something like Shuffle.dev that has components for Tailwind/Bootstrap/Bulma.

> It’s worse than that. I liked this article, but it was anonymous and undated. I looked around the site to find out who this was. Despite the author seemingly wanting you to know about him, what other people think about his skills, etc., he seems not to want you to know what his name is. I find this kind of thing bizarre. Does he want you to guess it from the URL? I finally saw his name in his page about “books I wrote”.

I'm guessing that his website is work in progress or/and he's learning cms he's using.

>I think his design ideas are sound. But visual design without any notion of information design is like having a beautiful car with no wheels. Or something.

Sure, but you should learn from multiple sources as not everyone should teach about everything. It's up to you to connect that knowledge.

For me pure black text on pure white background looks good, but pure white text on pure black background it doesn't look good, my eyes are getting tired faster but that also depends on what font family/weight/size is used. For thin font weights (100-300) maxium contrast increases readablity, for regular/bold weights it's not neccessary to be pure white on pure black.

I recently started following author of this article on Twitter, he shares a lot of tips/tricks/insights about UI, visual design, etc. Highly recommended. And you will more articles like this on his website. He should add navigation to article pages, though.

As others said it's a music player, it can also play radio streams and podcasts but that requires plugin.

I've downloaded few mixes with relaxing music from YT and created a playlist in my foobar, it's simple and it doesn't require browser. I also recommend some radio streams:

Try SubSync, open source movie subtitle synchronization app. Build in feature like this in VLC would be awesome.

I have uBlock installed but with default settings and cookie notifications shows up everywhere. Which settings blocks those notifications?
Try "I don't care about cookies" add-on, personally I haven't used it yet so I don't know how good it is.
