Making a no-code platform top on WordPress

Hi everyone,

I made a no-code platform top on WordPress. As we know, making a website is much easier these days. Even AI-powered tools can craft a landing page within a minute.

The problem is that when you rely on the closed source, there will always be vendor-locking, and it's not easy to move out when you need some sort of custom development.

Another problem is, making websites is easy, but making privacy-compliant websites is a bit tricky. So, our platform is equipped with privacy tools you will need the most.

WordPress is incredibly flexible, but

WordPress wouldn't be this much popular if it weren't flexible, but it comes with some downsides when compared with today's no-code tools. I think it's the exact reason why @mcapodici has mentioned this (https://www.indiehackers.com/post/why-don-t-i-hear-much-about-wordpress-in-the-nocode-world-644944627f)

You need to have a decision way too much. Which page builder to use? Which caching plugin works with your theme? Which form builder is better?... I can probably count at least 20 options for each of these questions. (20x20x20...) and the potential complexity is pretty high, and new users can easily get lost while trying new plugins or finding plugin/theme conflicts.

I would appreciate hearing your feedback or any thoughts you may have on this.

PS: I have plans to share additional technical details in the future. When utilized effectively for launching a SaaS or WaaS type of application, WordPress multisite can be an incredibly powerful tool.

    Thanks for the shout out! I spotted a typo on the page, it says "Join %43 of the web; your dream website is a few clicks away!" but I think you meant to put 43%.

      I got it fixed! You absolutely right, thanks for the correction.
