Hello again HN! We’ve been working on this tool for several years now and got HN’d in the past ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29563629 ), but we’ve just released it as an open source project. It combines some seemingl

As a "no-code sales person," I actually agree. It's why we started on https://plasmic.app , to bridge the gap between low-code and code—we think there can exist low-code tools that integrate deeply with existing co

https://plasmic.app is a soon-open-source visual builder that (uniquely) integrates with codebases. (I work on this!) So you can build within existing apps and use your own arbitrarily complex React components. This is what make

Hi! I work on Plasmic. Plasmic's most common use case is actually the same one, letting content editors build pages in your existing website using your React components. Congrats on this release! We are actually open sourcing Plasmic s

That sounds like Plasmic: https://plasmic.app You register React components as building blocks, and compose them together into websites and web apps.

Thanks for the mention of Plasmic! Indeed, I believe there's a lot of innovation to be had by page builders - Plasmic's approach is to blur the lines between the codebase and the visual editor, so we try to directly confront the m

It depends on how extensive the edits/created components are that you want to allow the non-developer to make. https://plasmic.app experimented with bringing together design+code in this way, but we found it didn't tak

There are other approaches. Tools like https://www.plasmic.app/ give you a drag and drop page builder, but integrated into your codebase so that you can drag and drop your own React components for instance - exactly so that

https://www.plasmic.app/ has done this since its inception. It is a page builder that has drag and drop content editing, integrates with arbitrary codebases and modern frameworks like NextJS, and builds static (or non stati

I don't follow how HTML comes anything close to expressing dynamism, composition, state, Turing completeness, etc. Sure, you can encode whatever you want inside of data attributes, but that's just ignoring the problem. You still h

Not true for all such tools. Though like a sibling comment suggests, part of the issue is that no-code is defined too broadly to include everything under the sun. I work on a no-code tool that checks those specific boxes (shameless plug: h

The problem is that no-code is not well-defined. It's used to label everything from Excel to Airtable to Zapier to Webflow to Bubble to Retool. And within that umbrella, some of them are relevant to the HN crowd. Your examples, like

The API-based integration does track impressions. Besides that, you can also use codegen, which doesn't.

(Copying response from elsewhere) It's headless as in "headless CMS" - Plasmic is decoupled from your frontend stack, which you run and own. The content you design is delivered via API into your site/app.

You may be interested in https://plasmic.app/casestudies . Note that Plasmic is different from these because it's a full free-form web design tool, so it doesn't restrict you to blocks that also have be authored by

Really not trying to mislead/annoy - Plasmic's client libraries are open source and on GitHub, but not the visual editor currently. Will add clarification to the repo, but any other suggestions are welcome.

It's the opposite - it has no vendor/hosting lock-in. You run and own your own frontend stack, hosting, etc. Plasmic is a visual editor that plugs into your stack.

It's different from TinaCMS because it's a full free-form page builder/web design tool. The developer doesn't need to write any CMS template/schema code. TinaCMS is like other headless CMSes with visual editors, whe

What makes this noteworthy is that it's built on the still-heavily-WIP React Server Components ([1]), so unlike SSR frameworks, it doesn't require downloading full bundles of JS and raw data to re-render and hydrate your entire UI
