Prismic.io: a developer-focused approach to content management

Short: not bad!
Long:
What we need here is not osmek or prismic or insert-random-new-thing, but it is a sane interface.
If you think you are good go solve that problem.
The whole point (mostly) of these services is to decouple content from presentation yet when every new service designs their own revolutionary API you just end up tying yourself to that specific provider.
The major problem is to get people to agree on the same thing of course.
But if that does happen then imagine the kinds of freedom it will bring to you.
A very simplistic one could be defining standard JSON objects and then building a CMS that works with those objects, then allow people to bring their own data.
Is there any textual info on this anywhere or do I have to force myself to watch that video?
I also find the recent trend of introducing things via videos, often with no text alternative, massively irritating.
Particularly when it's something developer-centric and code-related. Do you really think I'm illiterate? That I am browsing with sound on? That I want to sit through minutes of marketing guff waiting for you to get to the point? You can't skim-read a video.
That said, I've always thought this is a product/project opportunity: the reason most startups rely on talking head videos is because anything else gets more costly and time consuming. Making it easier to produce a product demo would be a huge help.
Edit: cleaned up grammar. I can has words.
Worth noting that prismic.io is created by the same creators of the http://playframework.org
Overall, from the marketing, that's all I can smell here, marketing. If this is targeting developers, there is a major branding error all over the site.
Yes, it is. As long as you do things right on your app, (...)"
um, so that's probably a no. I prefer technical description of a product than marketing nonsense. Also, I'm not going to watch your marketing video to find out what it is.
When will people start testing fonts on windows and not just go with whatever looks good on a mac?!
Unfortuantely, I think it's only one of the problem areas that cause developers to constantly reinvent the wheel when it comes to CMSs to fit their own needs.
Django's admin is a pointer towards a solution and with some refinement that solves part of the problem.
Easy-to-use modular objects that are geared towards typical content types helps another aspect of it.
And some mix of http://startbootstrap.com/ with http://bootsnipp.com/ would tackle a third part of this.
So - essentially we don't need a CMS - we need a CMS toolkit that enables building a custom CMS with a minimal amount of glue code.
https://prismic.io/pricing => Should be "Gb of storage", not "Go of storage".
https://prismic.io/tour/writing-room => "Additional informations" (in the screenshot for the structured editing section) should be "Additional information".
Definitely not trying to be a jerk, but I'm wondering if these guys are concerned about this at all?
It plays just fine for me.
Edit: Hold your downvotes, I'm talking about the website. Not the blog! The website does have some hard to read gray-on-gray.
The grey on white has a ratio[1] of 8.6:1 which should be perfectly fine.
The footer, light blue on dark blue, has a ratio of 3.8:1 which fails WCAG.
I can read both fairly easily. Contrast ratio maybe not a good measure?
There is absolutely no way any of these US-centric startups are doing this stuff right. No way.
I've been seeing tons of new-ish sites with the scroll down structure where it's like there are multiple viewing frames stacked vertically. Is this because everyone is using the same toolset/template?
