I am currently working on a serverless solution that covers everything you mentioned above and is a direct alternative and upgrade to WordPress. It's built with full-stack Next.js, and the frontend is the backend, and the backend is the frontend; it's all the same. React server components have eliminated the need to separate the frontend from the backend into separate domains, and the frontend essentially securely talks directly to the database which eliminates extra network round trips and vulnerable backend API routes. Built with Next.js, Postgres, TipTap, Tailwind, and Auth.js. Compatible with Vercel, Neon, Supabase, Firebase, Cloudflare R2, etc. What do you think? Is this a solution you might consider over your current WordPress domain? https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli/tree/v4.x/pa...
In Ask HN: How to build site with payment, subscriptions, user login, registration
Yeah I received a similar email as well. YC has a funky hodgepodge of React on Rails for their website, and it could use a major update considering they’re the leading tech incubator. I emailed Dang about it, and he suggested that I build a product that solves this issue instead. I ended up building a prototype on top of Docusaurus, and received a ton of developer feedback. We’ve been working on it for about 6 months consistently now, and we’ve made huge progress on a simple CMS and content framework that would solve all of YC’s issues such as this accidental newsletter blast. My goal with this project is to upgrade the YC website, as well as Paul Graham’s. What do you’all think? https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli https://www.elegantframework.com/

My ADHD meds, coffee, GitHub Issues and Discussions, and using a simple ‘todo.txt’ file in my local box. For content creation, I created this little React based Wordpress alternative that is free to use and 100% open source: https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli For emails, I use ConvertKit to collect email signups and send out updates to my subscribers. Pomodoro method when things are really hectic and on fire. I’ll set a timer for 20 minutes and won’t leave my terminal until my task is complete or time has run out. P.S. I have a daytime developer gig as well; and a family at night. As well as I have small stakes in past ventures that need tending sometimes.
In Ask HN: How do you organize yourself as a solo founder
Would anyone be interested in a self hosted version of what Patreon offers for creators? I have been working on a free Wordpress alternative that is built with React, and removes the guard rails and burdens for creators that WP creates. https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli I have had requests to include Twitch like features such as tipping, subscriptions, and power ups. I started planning out these features to get them into the development pipeline and I realized that some of these features are the value that Patreon creates. Would developers/creators be interested in having subscription tiers, tips, power ups, rewards, etc, on their own website alongside their content? I am currently working with a local creator who recently switched over to us; and we are piloting ways to level up his content on his domain by linking his Patr

hoofhearted·Sep 22, 2023Recommendation phrase
This space is evolving so fast, and I love it! I feel like I am in the right place at the right time to be just so happening to be working on a better and more modern Wordpress :) If client-side/server-side rendering with static and incremental loading, combined with dynamic markdown loading is your type of thing; please checkout my project and give me a star to follow. https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli
In React Server Components made our site a lot faster
I’ve actually been exploring this concept myself with a blogging side project I’m working on. Things were “mehhh” for developer interest for the first month or so, as a I was working off of an internal todo list. I didn’t think anyone cared about my 300 line long todo.txt file, but then I started to wonder if I should find a way to put that doc out in the open for developers to follow, and possibly jump in and contribute. I had a hinkling that I could use GitHub issues to help with this, but I believed the title “issues” would hurt my project. I was under the impression that a new open source project with a single contributor, and a ton of open “issues” would look bad to developers. I started to inquire with devs on IH and hear about using issues for feature tracking. Much to my surprise, I got an overwhelming “yes, you need to use issues

”. I was also told not to worry about the misleading “issues” title, and that enough developers were knowledgeable enough to know they weren’t just bug reports. As I started to open issues, and ask for help; surprisingly I started getting traffic and interest. The more issues I opened, and the more open I was online about my code and plans for it; the more followers and contributors I’ve gotten. My plan at this point is to just follow Gitlabs model, and go full open transparency with everything.
