| Hi James, congratulations on the launch! The website looks great, your pitch is compelling and the vision is very similar to what I've been doing with vendure.io, which takes the same approach but towards ecommerce rather than CMS. Namely: open-source, headless, Node/TypeScript, dev- and code-first. In our experience, your thesis is correct in that there certainly is a niche for a great, dev-first, self hosted version of what is otherwise seemingly already handled by SaaS products. We see users moving to Vendure from closed SaaS commerce platforms for reasons like: full control over the code & data, integration requirements, need to support unique requirements, wanting to build their own platform etc. Furthermore our business model is similar - MIT core and paid enterprise plugins, and exploring cloud. Notably enterprise support and SLAs is also becoming a major area for us. So it's great to see a kindred product getting some attention here on HN! If you are interested to swap insights or discuss potential collaboration (many of our users are looking for a good CMS...) feel free to drop me a message at m.bromley at vendure.io :) |
Looking forward to it!
