I have used a number of different solutions over the years for simple documentation. Started with Wordpress, ended up on Docusaurus. Docusaurus is an amazing tool for startups, but it started to show its weaknesses as we tried to scale it. Our project requirements needed something more, so I ended up forking Docusaurus and started working on my own free open-source solution. Check it out, I’d love to hear what everyone thinks! :) https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli https://www.elegantframework.com/docs/installation

Ask HN: Should I use Product Hunt now, or later?

I'm creating a free open source website generator, to help developers create beautiful websites, blogs, and user documentation. I am considering posting on Product Hunt soon to get some real feedback, but I'm not sure if I'm too early or not. Should I post on Product Hunt as soon as I have an MVP? Or should I wait until I have a little bit of a following? Thank you in advance! :) https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli

This is perfect for Elegant! You can get a free newsletter subscription account going with ConvertKit, and add your form url to get started with collecting sign ups right out of the box. It’s built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Markdown loader, and a bunch more. It doesn’t cost anything, and you can host on Vercel or Netlify for free :) https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli https://www.elegantframework.com/docs/convertkit

I have been looking for a basic Mailgun type transactional email service for my React based project, and I believe this is exactly what I need. I asked Adam to think about designing some reusable transactional email templates for Tailwind UI a few months ago. It looks like Resend would pair right up with Tailwind perfectly :) I added Resend to my R&D to do list, and I hope to partner up soon: https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli Congratulations on the launch, and keep up the great work! I saw that Guillermo also to note of your work, so props on that too!

Could I spare a minute of your time and ask you to check out the side project that I have been working on? We're ironing out the wrinkles and building content, but I am planning an offical SHOW HN very soon to get the communities feedback. I contacted dang and Hacker News last year because I noticed how fragmented the content space was, despite there being so much frontend innovation the last few years. WordPress is still the leading CMS platform, and I have validated this a few different ways this year myself with different data sources. I did a deep dive quantitative analysis last year on what popular startups were using for content, and the results were surprising. They either were using a WordPress instance on a subdomain, seperated from their core code base; or they had rolled their own code, and had a funky setup. From the top of my
Read the rest
head: - stripe.com had a crazy good static powered website. 100% not WordPress lol - opensea.io had a core Next.js application, but had an older WordPress instance for blogging on a sub-domain. - paulgraham.com has a super dated custom setup.. Even though he writes the best essays, I can't read them easily on my phone :( - patrickcollison.com is something simple and basic as PG's, just not as dated. - ycombinator.com has some janky "React on Rails" setup. From that point, the quick and rapid startups who were gaining traction either figured out how to create content alongside their app.. Or they used Webflow and didn't create any sort of seamless and simple docs, users guides, blogs, etc. I ended up eventually emailing YC directly to ask them why things were so wonky in the content space like this. I asked them why they would spend the resources to use Ruby to talk to a webserver and database to get basic static text. I also asked why PG's website was in the state that it was in, and if he would consider an upgrade if it existed. To my surprise, I actually got a speedy response back from Daniel himself. He gave me a ton of feedback and told me that Paul probably wouldn't be interested. He then said that if I was able to put together something impressive, I should do a SHOW HN because this is a large problem space. I'd love to connect with you and get your feedback, and share any ideas or data.

I’m working on a simple website generator for developers and content creators. I’ve already included everything a user would want for a complete website, including a robots.txt, sitemaps, perfect Lighthouse seo score, rich snippets, and a ton of other stuff. Should I consider adding an auto generated security.txt file along side the robots.txt file for users? Do you’all think a security.txt file is something users would want in 2023? Or would it look stupid and confusing? https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli
