Posted Makery in HackerNews show section with the goal to get some feedback. This is my first time using HN, so let's see how it goes. Hopefully I'll get a couple signups.
Comments and upvotes are welcome! :D

Today I onboarded the first beta users. A couple of things broke, but they started to explore Makery, which is super exciting.
I'm still looking for beta users, so let me know if you want to try the product.
Participating in the beta is free. You get access to every Makery feature. My goal is to see how the product behaves.
Released some usability updates for the component browser. The goal was to make page prototyping even faster.
Updates:
- Broke up the component browser into Page elements and Layout components
- Introduced Content page element to make content page creation even faster
Shipped a set of components to build better-looking content sections, so my documentation pages will look good finally.
- Add a new Typography component to separate content styling from the rest of the landing page styles
- Built Code block component to add code snippets to your content
Check out this page as an example: https://www.makery.app/docs/components/grid
The goal of this release was to improve SEO tooling and increase the page analytics score users get on AHrefs or Semrush.
- Shipped improvements to control metatags on the site and page level
- Generate sitemap.xml for every site
- Page responses automatically get compressed
You can ship technical documentation for your API, and SDK. You can either host it on your marketing site or ship it to a different domain.
We added a couple of components developed specifically for this use case:
- Code block to embed code snippets into your page with syntax highlight
- Horizontal menu
Makery now offers an easy-to-use and beautifully designed React component library built specifically to launch SaaS landing pages. The components are only available for Makery customers. We are constantly releasing bug fixes, feature updates, and new components.
Here is a list of the components of the first release:
- Dropdown navigation
- Mobile menu
- Video
- Image
- Icons
- Responsive grid
- Typography
- Form elements
The first version of Makery is ready and in private beta.
My goal was to create a site builder for developers, that allows them to use standard tools like React, Tailwind, and Next.js to build landing pages for their products, but also hides as much complexity as possible like infrastructure, tooling, and design.
Here are the core features:
An in-browser code editor that allows users to make changes to the website. The editor shows an instant preview of the active page and updates it to reflect any code changes.
A library of website components that follow a unified design system and solve the most common use cases.
A one-click deployment process. During the deployment, the system generates a Next.js project and publishes it on the Makery platform.

Makery looks really cool! I like how the video on the landing page really shows the experience of a developer building a landing page.

That's so cool! I'm more of a Vue guy myself, but your focus on React is probably the right move - it's the defacto standard.
How's it going looking for beta users?

Well, I've been booking feedback sessions and demos manually. I have a couple subscribers. At this point, I want to figure out how users want to use the site builder. I have too many ideas to build, so I need feedback to find my niche.
Let me know if you would be down to do a feedback session.
