Show HN: Boomla – A free website for everyone – simple UI, JavaScript back end

Haha, thx! :) I do send some usage analytics data back, like, when you edit your site, that you used a specific feature. Is that okay in your world? To make it better I need to know what features people use..

Thanks!

Depends on which part you mean, the platform, the drag&drop UI or the WYSIWYG editor. In the case of Boomla, you can write code on the platform and fully generate the result yourself, so that way it is up to you. As for the drag&drop interface, because it manipulates the underlying data structures and the final code is handcrafted by whoever wrote the code, it also tends to be as good as you want it to be. That leaves the WYSIWYG editor. Slate and ProseMirror are completely changing the game here, as they use a normalized data structure instead of working with the less structured HTML directly. They still have some rough edges but they are already amazing.

Time, wooh. I'd guesstimate 30k hours.

Would you maybe help kickstart a Show HN thread next time with an upvote? I'm struggling with this, that would help a lot. My email is in my profile (or you can reach me via the website..).
