Making and breaking things

Hi David, nice idea.

The one question I'd ask though is why give you access to a GitHub repository? My first thought on the proposition is, why?

It would be far better if you make it work locally. Especially with a lot of developers working remotely now, it would be good to have a client attach realtime to give feedback and copy changes. I can't see the benefit of giving a platform GitHub access beyond that, however much privacy is a said focus. Maybe a video would help sell it better.

Also does it work with modern front-end frameworks? Such as Vue and with static framework like Gridsome or Gatsby.

Seeing a lot of ideas like this at the moment, and you're definitely coming at it at a different angle, which is good. Not sure it would be something I'd, unless you can figure out the local functionality and a realtime element.

Simple design always inspires trust for me. Nicely done.

Hope that helps.

Definitely. Most of the publications are private, but started working on an explore section with a list of publications that people want to share. Also building some example sites too. blog.unalike.net is a good example, as is blog.thingsthat.com. Thanks Andrey!

Yeh, I'd agree with @ajvillalobos on the banner. I'd recommend using something like Fathom which is more privacy focused and means you don't need a cookie banner. usefathom.com/ref/XNNQP3

Google Analytics, which you're using, holds very little value in the grand scheme of an early project like this. Unless you're using adverting too. But even with Fathom you can set particular goals.

I still show a cookie banner on my project, but it's very minimal and explains that cookies are for functional use only.

Apart from that, it's a fairly clean website. I'd recommend a better logo, and a better about. Apart from that, it serves the purpose well.
