jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
Thanks! Sorry, not yet. I'm going to add a delete account feature soon. If you want your account delete right now please email me on jake@raterfox.com.
jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
No, not yet. But I will investigate to see if I could add an export feature.
jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
Thats a valid point!

I'm actually still validating the MVP version and I have a lot of ideas on how to improve. I'm think about adding a feature to connect your github repo with SidePage and adding a "changelog" feature where you docs on SidePage also show your latest changelog entries. Still need to work this out. Also would be cool if you could just import your poject and generate some pages from the project's readme, but again I haven't worked out the details yet. I will investigate this further to see what options are available to improve the workflow of updating docs.

It showed the wrong name, sorry for that.

SidePage is bootstrapped with Serverless SaaS, a starter kit I made (https://serverless.page), and I forgot to change the name inside the email template.

Should be fixed now.

Thanks for the feedback!
jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
I think it's going to stay Markdown

Thanks for the feedback. You can find an example at https://serverless-saas.sidepage.co

Thanks for that feedback!

I'm trying to validate the project first, so it's lacking some features. Your suggestions sound like some very good improvements that I will look into asap.

At this point, it's completely free. The paid plans are just dummy buttons. But if people like to project I might at a paid plan later, and limit free plans to a single project for example.

Didn't think of anybody creating a project called "www", haha. I will remove it and add a validation for that slug ;)

jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
Thank! I'm validating if people are actually interested in something like this, so it's still very limited. Your projects are now live as soon as you are creating a project. I think will add a "publish" button soon.

I'm going to look into custom domains! A custom subdomain was my MVP version, but having a custom domain is something people definitely want so hopefully I can add that options soon.

I will also investigate how much work it would be to add a "export to HTML" button.

jakeprins··on Show HN: I made a free documentation tool
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I like the idea of adding a feature to export it as HTML. I will dive into that.

Appingkit looks nice btw! I will keep an eye on it.

jakeprins··on Show HN: NextWind - A free starter-kit for building landing pages and blog
I made a starter-kit for building a blog or landing pages quickly with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Netlify CMS.

It allows you to switch between different versions of page sections from within the CMS. To do this, simply change for example hero_version from 1 to 2 or 3. The preview is immediately updated to show you the styling of the selected version.

The sections are mostly brought to you by Tailblocks, some ready-to-use components built with Tailwind CSS.

You can find the repository here: https://github.com/jakeprins/nextwind

jakeprins··on A starter-kit or your next React app to build full-stack SaaS applications
Building a SaaS platform is hard and takes time. This starter-kit helps you to get going quickly. Instead of spending weeks or months implementing basic features like authentication and billing, you could start building the things that make your product unique from the start.

- Landing page, blog, and CMS

    Start with a nice landing page that includes a blog and is easily manageable with an integrated CMS
- Users & Authentication

    Allow users to sign up and log in to your SaaS application
- Subscription payments

    Monetize your application with a powerful billing system that uses Stripe Billing.
- Manage a team

    Allow your customers to manage a team and invite other members. You can, for example, choose to allow this option only for "Premium" subscriptions.
- Send transactional emails

    Easily send emails from your application. A couple are already added for you, like a welcome email for new users and a team invite.
Made with modern web technologies:

- TypeScript - React - Next.js - Tailwind CSS - Firebase - Cloud FIrestore - Cloud Functions - Netlify CMS - Stripe - Postmark

jakeprins··on Today, I launched my new personal site! Do you have any feedback?
Thank you! I really only wanted to ask for the email (no other information). I guess I had some weird settings in Mailchimp. It should be fixed right now. I really hope you will try again whenever you can.
jakeprins··on Today, I launched my new personal site! Do you have any feedback?
That's really weird. Only email should be enough. I have changed some settings in Mailchimp, tried it and it now seems to work with just providing the email.

Sorry for that. I hope you will try again and still join :)

From my personal experience I can say that the most traffic will come in the first couple of days. After that it will drop very fast. But it could also be good for SEO, and it’s free, so a solid way for indie hackers to grab some attention without spending money.

It's better because of the use of cutting edge blockchain, game-changing ai, huge big data and disruptive UX to just name a few random things.

Thank you, I'm happy you like it.

I will add some more recommendation lists (like the 'Recommended by Bill Gates') soon!

jakeprins··on Show HN: Find books that help you grow
Yes, when searching it will search for titles. If you want books on programming, try to select one of the categories.
