Creator of https://pinkpigeon.co.uk which is a website builder specifically built for use on mobiles, using modules (rather than drag and drop blocks), JAMstack-only / static site only - deploys to Cloudflare.
Thank you for pointing that out, fixed!
I run https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Just about at $500 per month in recurring hosting fees. It's a CMS which publishes static sites to Cloudflare workers sites. I've not done any marketing, it's all word of mouth and took 3…
I love getting in after 1,000 comments, let's do this: https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Built with my own site-builder and advertising my own site-builder! Turns out nobody registers for a free account or just signs up. All my…
At pinkpigeon.co.uk we created a website builder that literally just pushes Hugo-generated sites to Cloudflare. It has been working perfectly for about a year by now. We don't use CF pages, admittedly. It's workers…
Wix are true experts at terrible UX ;) DeviantArt was the first place where I shared photography, a very, very long time ago. My account still works, funnily enough. It was a great place that reminds me of the MySpace /…
I concur, many of my clients are 'rescues' from Wix and Wordpress and the only thing more hated than Wordpress is Wix. More often than not it comes down to the horrifyingly confusing documentation, inconsistent UX,…
Not your keys, not your crypto. It is best practice to keep the smallest amount of crypto possible on an exchange. Every exchange has the biggest target imaginable painted on their back, for all hackers worldwide. I'd…
Do you mean easiest CMS to install and get up and running on a VPS or do you mean easiest CMS to use / fastest way to get a website up and running? If the latter, try https://pinkpigeon.co.uk (disclaimer, that's my…
Yeah POST requests with any sort of advanced functionality will always require some kind of server. I built a thing that makes static sites, including form handling. BUT, the form handling, inevitably, requires a POST…
So far as I can tell, Wordpress requires PHP and a DB still, you're just storing a static snapshot of the WP site on Cloudflare pages here. I think.
https://kivy.org/#home is the closest I ever got to working with UI in Python and not hating it. But it still appears to be an unsolved problem.
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated!
For our website builder (https://pinkpigeon.co.uk) we once chose an ORM (GORM for Go specifically). In case you don't know what this does, it's an abstraction layer for working with databases like MySQL, PostgresQL,…
Small nitpick, I just read half the page with a 50% opacity overlay on it, as the cookie pop-up shows up in the middle of the page, not the middle of my current screen, which can be caused by setting an absolute width…
The funny thing is that bubble.io (as one example) does this already. And it does it really well. And now I look on freelancer.com and there's still people wanting to hire "bubble developers". I have been talking to my…
Random nitpick, but I think it's à la. Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
Interesting article. Having been a Heroku user who then switched to my own Dokku-VPS, I have a few thoughts: - Back then you HAD to use postgres. Didn't bother me, but might bother others. - Things get expensive quick.…
> Your effort here is admirable, but I think you have chosen a very hard market to make an impact in. Yup, I like to think I was always quite realistic about the chances of succeeding in this market (mind you, my…
I think there is a lot of undiscovered country left when it comes to website builders. The incumbents like WordPress and Squarespace probably want you to think that the market is saturated and the problem has been…
Funnily enough, I guess I use my own website builder to do this.
I've battled many different rich text editor implementations and have found quill to be the most reliable so far. No issues on Android whatsoever. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
While this is definitely a high-effort post, with a lot of useful information, it's sort of missing a huge change that's about to happen with JSON in Postgres 14: SELECT * FROM shirts WHERE…
Yup, the whole thing is aimed at people who have big, complicated Wordpress setups for their business-onepagers that never get updated, because whoever built it isn't around anymore and it's just too complicated to use.…
I make a website builder and it is a constant battle to try to keep websites to a certain size. Imagery and video are the biggest enemies. Partly because users don't know the filesizes of their imagery (so we either…
Very interesting post. How did you deal with the fact that almost all subreddits have a pretty strict self-promotion policy? I am always hesitant to post about my product on any subreddit, because as soon as I read the…
