Ask HN: What do you expect from a no-code website builder? I'm trying to build a no-code website builder that can not only build UI but also build APIs it will use modern tech Like Next, Tailwind..., and exports clean code to be extended if needed I would love to know your perfect no-code website builder and would you pay around $20 - $40 a month to use it? |
This is quite the bold promise and I'd use something like this if possible. But I'd rather just have a prototyping tool that I pay for once.
For a maintainable site, I'm not sure if APIs are needed. Maybe for a blog or ecommerce site that you're making an app for? Squarespace and WordPress already do this though, at a decent price, and it's easy to just hire a WP technician as needed or ask ChatGPT to debug.
Maybe figure out your target market, as there might be conflicting models here.
By all means go for it but I imagine it's needs a significant team to get close to their product features plus people generally don't want a monthly fee.
