Awesome, I'll reach out when we start building that! Thank you so much!

Wow I can imagine the struggle of upgrading :D... But you did it, that's awesome! Real time collaboration is something we need to do very soon, glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!

I see... Interesting problem, we had a similar issue previously where we didn't define our users well. This time we rigorously interviewed potential users before even started anything :D

Yep, thanks for pointing that out!

Here's a link to the Stripe payment links https://stripe.com/payments/payment-links.

For email domains, we don't handle your emails. You could use any email provider that you want, like MailChimp, Sendgrid, etc. Since connecting custom domains doesn't require you to point your nameservers to Typedream, you can add MX records, etc. that is usually required for you to set up your email provider.

Thanks for your explanation on A/B testing, that makes sense and we have had a couple of similar requests as well! This is definitely something we're looking to add as a feature.

Oh that's really cool. To answer your questions:

- A/B testing: not supported yet, although we are thinking on building this. Would love to learn more from your use case! - Incoming referral, bounce rate, time on page are available through our built-in analytics. If you're familiar with Plausible https://plausible.io, we're using their self-hosted version to offer the analytics feature, so you should get everything they offer. - Not familiar with n8n.io, looks like it's similar to Zapier. We don't have any integration like this yet, but most functional components that you can add to your Typedream site (like forms, waitlist, etc) can be done using HTML embeds. For example, to add a form, you can embed an Airtable form in your Typedream site. This means that any automation supported by those tools can be used.

With that said, interactions such as allowing customer to buy a product, sending emails, and adding orders to Airtable/Google Sheets can be done by using a third party service, like Stripe Payment Links to allow users to buy a product, then use Stripe's functionality or Zapier/n8n.io integrations to send emails or add orders to Airtable/Google Sheets. This is also the case with comments, for example you can embed https://commentbox.io/ into your Typedream site to enable comments.

Hope this makes sense!

Oh where did you find this link? This looks like a broken link that leads nowhere, we should update that. You can check out the showcase here https://typedream.com/showcase

Thanks for the input, yes it's a recurring billing saas model, includes hosting, and the WYSIWYG is referring to a WYSIWYG rich text editor, like Medium, Notion, etc.

Thanks for pointing out about Pinegrow as well, this is my first time hearing about it! We focus more towards non-pro users and trying to make the UX as familiar and simple as possible. Seems like Pinegrow is somewhat similar to Webflow and the pricing is more "per user" than per site.

Is there any specific reason why you would like build lots of sites? We did encounter some requests on enabling code export and make a software package pricing so users can host the exported sites themselves, would love to understand your use case!

Ah really interesting, we haven't thought of this. We are building a CMS feature right now so probably similar to your first point, it could be possible by changing the CMS template.

Have you had any solution that allows you to do this with other website builders?

Thank you!

Yes we actually did have a couple questions on how to change the background color, and realized that using a container is "doable" but "not intuitive", so definitely something we should improve on!

And yes the context menu is covered when it's near the top , a bug we need to fix.

About the color, I am not sure whether you want the ugly color or you don't lol, but you seem to have figured it out :D

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you, that makes sense! We actually just released a built-in analytics feature a couple weeks ago

Thank you!

Got it, thanks for the feedback. You could give it a try with the free plan which allows you to publish 1 page for free, but you won't be able to connect a custom domain unfortunately.

I'm not sure if you're saying you want to add html/css or you don't, but just letting you know that we do have a Code Injection feature to add code to the <head> and <body>.

The sites are deployed on Vercel and Digital Ocean. Both platforms allow users to connect their custom domains, and they auto-generate the SSL for these domains.

Oh hmm I'm not familiar with Bootstrap Studio, but from what you described, it's quite different because our users don't interact with the underlying HTML/CSS of their sites.

We use React because our editor is built in React (which does have a lot of interactivity and changing states), and so, since it's a WYSIWYG editor, the user will be seeing how their site is rendered as they are editing it, so we render their site in React as well. Also, we are using this React framework, Next.JS, which have a functionality to generate static pages from our React component. At the end of the day the React does get compiled into static pages in HTML/JS/CSS. I'm not sure if this answers your question though, would be happy to answer more questions

Oh we use SlateJS as well! Mind sharing your experience with it?

Thank you!

Yes exactly! We had a great time using Medium, Ghost, and Notion, and thought this approach is quite easy and familiar for most people

I'm not sure I can visualize what you mean by a DOM Editor, would love it if you can expand on that.

The JSON format allows us to only specify the main type/value of each block, while giving full flexibility on how to render them. I think there are several approaches to rich text editing out there, we picked this one because it seemed to be the most flexible and portable, as we need to invent our own types of standard "blocks", like columns, containers, etc.

Not sure if this answers your question though, happy to go deeper if you have more thoughts on it.

Interesting question, to be honest we're still navigating this. Our goal is to stay simple, while reaching feature parity with other website builders.

We want to take a different UX approach to most of the features necessary for website building, to make sure beginners can make a functional website with almost no learning curve. Of course, that's a huge challenge :D.

And yes, we do plan on building the frequently-used integrations as native features. Our plan for the near future is to build a native CMS, forms, gated content like Memberstack, some simple animation, and email newsletter. We're sort of taking inspiration from Ghost & Notion on UX, and SquareSpace/Webflow/etc for features.

However, we probably are not competing directly with Webflow, as our target users are quite different. Webflow seems to target designers that require complete control over every pixel. While for us, we focus more on builders/founders that want to get something out fast while keeping sites looking pretty & modern by providing design defaults.

Yes it's possible. By default we include a Google Analytics tag on published sites, but you can contact us to disable it on your site.

Oh that's awesome, thanks for sharing this to me!

I see, I personally haven't played around with PWA much, but that sounds like something we should look into, thank you!

We just added the feature to add alt text on images, and we do adopt the markup syntax such that bigger texts are available using headings 1, 2, and 3. But there's definitely a lot more for us to learn and implement on this.

Oh interesting, what sort of issues did you face? Perhaps we could learn from your experience!

You can't build an ecommerce site yet, but we are building the CMS feature that would allow you to do this somewhat. What do you mean by next integrations?

It doesn't support PWA yet. Do you have input on this?

And yes presenting on nextjsconf would have been really cool!!

Thank you! We're basing it off the price of other website builders. (For example, Webflow's Basic plan is $12 without their CMS feature). From what I know, Carrd only give you 1 page per site. (We're also building our own CMS feature right now :D)

And yes, it's the editor itself that is our biggest selling point, and we did have users who preferred to use the editor as a software, and then export the code and host them anywhere. Would love to get your thoughts on this approach! What kind of pricing model would work for you if we offer this as a software package?

Hi! Yes, definitely. You can email us at team@cotter.app or start a private chat with us on the Intercom chat on our website https://www.cotter.app/.

We can setup a call in the chat/email if you'd like. Thank you!

Oh, thanks for spotting it!

The trusted device works with mobile apps, and it works by generating cryptographic keys and store in the device's secure storage. It doesn't involve the browser to identify trusted devices.

(Trusted device would work with browsers in the future when WebAuthn is more widely adopted. https://webauthn.io/)
