Hey everyone!

With what seems like a new website builder popping up every week, I'm often asked the same question. Why build another one? Here's my answer.

We're starting to invite people to our early access program and would love your feedback.

Check out the US Digital Web Design standards. For example their discussion on color and accessibility is one of the best and easiest to share I’ve found: https://designsystem.digital.gov/design-tokens/color/overvie...

Especially now that I’m over 40, the important of contrast can’t be overstated yet right now everyone seem to be competing on how many barely discernible shades of grey they can have layered over their sites and content.

Lots of good common sense guidance in there - and it’s freely available/useable to all.

I clicked through the features and handbook. I wanted to test it out without an account but that option was not available.

My main question is: does this let you output html+js so that I can upload it on any other site, or does the site stay hosted on your site?

Looks neat, btw.

We do all hosting ourselves at the moment. As for trying it out, we're currently in early access and you'll need an invite code to use it but if you apply [1], you'll get one in your inbox pretty quickly.

And thanks!

No, it does not.

Thanks for sharing your project, certainly looks like an interesting start!

Quick feedback, it seems you forgot to answer the question "Why build another one" before submitting your comment, I'm still awaiting your answer :)

I'm guessing they are referring to the article linked on this submission.

Yep, that's right. I can see how that would be confusing though, thanks for the feedback.

Hi :)

Cool project. So do you mind actually answering the question of _why_ building another one? Just curious.
