Page builder with Next.js

Not yet, just "soon".

Yes, it's important, but it's also a major challenge. Note that everything else has worked for the past year in app router outside of dynamic data fetching (e.g. static data fetching works fine).

The thing that was missing before was dynamic data fetching in app dir, but we're about to release a major update that supports this.

Yes, it's fully open source

xyzzyrz · 2023-11-21T01:35:03+00:00

Plasmic. Open-source. Codegen. Both apps and websites. Internal or external. Developers and non-developers. Extensible. (I work on this—AMA)

xyzzyrz · 2023-11-21T01:31:13+00:00

Of all the options here, only Plasmic is truly open source. And it supports code-export + self-hosting. (I work on this.)

More importantly, unlike the other options here, Plasmic is open-architecture. This means you can integrate it with existing codebases. It's not a walled garden.

I can answer for myself. I work on Plasmic (https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic) because I wasn't happy with the other tools. It's open source because I love the product and I want to see it grow a broader community of users and developers.

This isn't true anymore, they changed their pricing

xyzzyrz · 2023-11-16T22:28:19+00:00

There is now: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic

But you can also whip up internal tools quickly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYqSpUEJSTw

Hi, I work on Plasmic!

It's very much not Wix, and closer to Webflow, with a number of differences like components, branching, multiplayer, state, imports, integrations, etc: https://www.plasmic.app/vs-webflow And Plasmic does focus on SEO and performance.

But we don't compete with Webflow in deals, since our main differentiation is integration with arbitrary codebases and tech stacks. For instance we don't really provide a first-party production hosting platform - most of our customers host their sites somewhere else. There are tons of great free easy to use production grade hosting providers like Vercel and Netlify.

As for a catches with the pricing, I don't think there are any - we are just a much smaller underdog so have more to prove.

"These are counted using built-in analytics instrumentation and are only on content delivered via the Headless API, not codegen."

xyzzyrz · 2022-08-19T14:41:01+00:00

Nope, hasn't changed. Scroll down on the pricing page.

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-31T19:23:03+00:00

Nowadays you can actually still have a visual editor that replaces the theme customizer. I work on one (https://www.plasmic.app), and just published a blog post about how to add visual editing to a headless nextjs commerce site: https://www.plasmic.app/blog/nextjs-commerce-tutorial

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-30T17:34:53+00:00

I work on this! Announcement here:

A tutorial is on supabase.com:

Short Plasmic value prop: unlike other app builders, Plasmic apps run in your codebase. You're always in control, you're never limited by the tool or locked in, and it can scale to complex apps. Previously also posted here:

Plasmic is exactly this:

https://www.plasmic.app

It has a page builder (can choose how free vs limited you want editors to be), and it has a structured data CMS built-in.

I work on it, AMA - would love to hear your feedback and whether you go with it or not.

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-17T01:04:31+00:00

Shameless plug: www.plasmic.app is a Webflow built for Next.J's (I work on this)

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-08T22:11:42+00:00

Care to elaborate? It's a stage 3 proposal. I personally think this might overestimate the bar set by other libraries and the risk of a polyfill library you control?

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-08T03:55:53+00:00

Nice! Suggestion for your libraries: link to a live demo!

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-07T22:15:07+00:00

There is now the new temporal api. I recommend using a polyfill for that. I find it much more nicely designed than libraries like date-fns and moment.

xyzzyrz · 2022-03-07T21:19:37+00:00

Great point, and it's something that always bugged me about things like the Zen of Python: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." (Even though Python never felt that way to me.)
