Hello fellow indie hackers, it would be great to get your feedback on the service I just launched.
Nice frontend. can't get your point making such SaaS. Netlify works well with static website, includes some ci/cd features, with a free account. Could you share why the thoughts behind make a such product decision?
Purely from a visual point of view, needs to have some movement on the page I think. Either a video, some animations or sharp and smart user flows.
Thanks for the feedback. I also have the same impression. I am working on a simple video atm.
Hope it helps! http://recordit.co
Thanks for sharing!
Nice and clean. Branding is on point. I had an idea and a bit of feedback.
In order to publish the site, the user has to have a github account and has to have already built the site.
"You have developed (or are still developing) your website using Hugo or Jekyll and now it’s time to connect it to Statictastic."
But the main punchline says you don't need a developer:
"Statictastic includes all tools needed by teams to publish their Jekyll and Hugo generated static sites without having to touch code or wait for developers."
Which group are you marketing to? Rhetorical question, but I found the messages conflicting.
It seems to me that you could bridge that first gap by offering built-in templates that are ready to go. I fully realize this changes the dynamics of your idea, but IMO there's merit behind that.
Anyways, good luck on this.
P.S - Are you using Trix for content editing? Looked familiar in your screenshots. If that's the case, how are you getting around the markup not being semantic? Divs instead of P tags, multiple h1 headings, etc.
Hi Nick, the conflicting message issue is a good point.
When I was writing this copy, I had in mind potential startup CEOs/CPOs or marketing team members, which although don't code, usually have a Github account with access to the company's projects.
Specifically for companies using Jekyll and Hugo, those team members might endeavour themselves on changing the site content and creating commits, although that's clearly not something they enjoy.
I will think more about this copy to find potential options..
Regarding the content editing, you're right it's Trix. It's the editor I had more experience with. It was the easiest option for me to integrate.
At the moment I doing a series of spikes on potential alternatives, which have a better feature set (not only for the semantics part).
Re: copy - It's challenging to find that balance, but you're on the right path at least.
Re: Trix - Having spent years building platforms where user-generated content was a requirement, you might check out Froala. https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor
The semantic issues with Trix is the reason I won't use it on a front-facing site (back-end, no issues). However, with it being included in Rails 6 I'd like to think that issue will become a moot point.
Froala looks gorgeous, I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
