🌼 Building https://cmsly.com - an AI powered, no code, headless CMS/SAAS builder.
Appreciate the feedback... and you'll be happy to know that this is a system designer for my app, and end users are free to build and deploy it and its infra anyway they want.

This means they can choose to use Cloudflare (its just not built into the MVP so it a manual process atm).

I'm trying to be a lot more active... hope you enjoy todays screens

Beyond that, I feel the iteration cycle starting to rapidly increase in velocity... to the point, I am considering it might be time to incorporate as a company so I can launch!

However, what I am happiest about achieving this week is migration from a "cache only" data store to a full persistent #Postgres database. This has only been possible through data store model refinement.

I even had time for a “vanity project,” refactoring inline #tailwind styles into component styles, earning me the “Wasted Time” award for implementing #DarkMode!

However, just four days later (like an episode of Black Mirror), everything changed. I’m no longer behind—I'm actually way ahead of where I thought I’d be! As I revisit my original PoC components to iterate, innovate, and integrate them in, I’m realising I planned more than I expected upfront.

Great question. Hard to answer.

The MVP allows users to design, develop, build, deploy , update & maintain a headless CMS with API to a region of their choice

Thus, since each step provides value, I've loosely coupled them so the market can decide, but I see value in the project based workflow

I hear ya, but on the flip side I am also building this tool for me, as an opportunity to upskill after 7 years of leading a tech department and slipping down the innovation curve.

With that said, the MVP us quite limited in functionality, you can only design, build and deploy a basic API.

Sure, here are a few screenshots. It's still a work in progress.

I am essentially wiring up all my PoC's into a working project and there is still about 20% to complete and then full E2E testing to be done.

No real marketing yet... but I've got a number of test clients ready to go.

I've always operated under the assumption that closer to the root the better. As per below, the higher the number the better the weight of the content.

5 - domain[]com
4 - sub[]domain[]com
3 - domain[]com/slug
2 - domain[]com/slug/slug
1 - domain[]com/slug/slug/slug

Hopefully I can get the private beta out in the next few weeks with a full launch towards the middle/end of January.

Self tagging. I am 3 months into my journey, I'll probably launch mid to late January after the holidays.

I'm building a AI powered no code platform builder.
