I started working on a WYSIWYG CMS Editor for Web-Applications and Websites.

Based on my experiences, I think there is something missing in the market for content creators / editors for WebApps (with landing pages etc.) and websites. There are many headless CMSs available but many are lacking a simple editing experience.

I want to make it easy for the developer to integrate it into a project (using React for example) - but also make it really easy for the content creator to be more independent of developers - while keeping UI constraints etc.

I choose to build a native iOS and MacOS App with SwiftUI that basically provides all editing UI as native components instead of using HTML/CSS - Basically an overlay on top of the website that let's you control the components and website grid/layout. It's mainly a proof of concept and for me a way to learn SwiftUI :)

There are many Website builders that provide great editing UIs (e.g. Webflow, Builder.io etc.), but I feel a native app, especially on iPad OS could provide benefits and it's a nice challenge :)


Hey! Huge shot in the dark, but I am working on an ML/NLP driven CMS for content creators. Have made great progress, just started on the CMS piece. Maybe we could collaborate?

Email is in profile.


Doesn't these content creators, by nature, collaborate on cloud application? I know native app can do that too, but I still feel people use web based app more in this area.


Congrats! This is a very exciting release!


Yap, been there :/.


I remember printing out the gentoo documentation back in the days to do a stage-1 install with the only computer I had :D. This was so much fun


Ditto. It was a procrastination project of mine to avoid my law exam preparations.


We use mjml as well, together with nunjucks. It's awesome :). No more HTML wrestling for all the different clients.


I ordered one :D. I love the size of the car, it's small enough to navigate in a town and AC charging speed is high (22 kw, no one else, besides a SMART offers this in this price range). I can't charge at home (as I live in an appartment in the city) and I don't want to wait 6 hours for a full charge. Fast chargers ( >= 50kw) inside towns in Germany are (still) rare and there are more 22kw chargers available around me, also free ones at supermarkets. I occasionally drive more then 500 km, but maybe 3 times per year, and then I would propably take the train anyway.


I love your songs :) Thank you!! <3 And you defnitly popped up on discover weekly :D. I usually star songs that I like there, and / or order them in my custom playlists.


Thank you very much— that's awesome to hear!


I'm working on a vegan catering platform (launch page: http://launch.vegcraver.com/). Stack is nextjs, postgraphile and stripe as payment provider.


I used redux before switching to Apollo and a query parameters / routing based state management. In Web Applications especially, it makes sense to couple global state to URLs. It makes the page and the current state shareable and brings value (like tabs, filters, pagination etc.). I developed a library based on zustand and immer for this case (called Geschichte). It’s open source https://github.com/BowlingX/geschichte

Most of the use cases I can solve with that, the rest is usually either forms (covered by formik, final-form etc), async loading of data (Apollo) or local state and animations.


I think a highly underrated Topic:

Food and Environment:

1.) Clean meat will become affordable to produce and cause a big shift in the meat industry.

2.) More People will switch to a (more) plant based diet, either for health and/or environmental and ethical reasons

3.) There will be a lot more startups in the plant based food sector (like beyond meat, just egg etc.)
