deco.cx 2.0 - Build web apps 10x faster with Deno, JSX, TS & Tailwind

Hi from Brazil 🇧🇷! Gui here, co-founder of deco.cx. We started deco in late '22 because: - We were unhappy with the complexity of frontend development and how this was turning down junior developers; - We saw how developers and content creators often struggle to collaborate because the Headless CMS becomes a silo, requiring a lot of time to integrate and evolve; - Finally, we've witnessed client-side-first SPAs fail terribly for high-volume, content-driven websites like ecommerce storefronts. We wanted a simpler way for web developers to build and collaborate with their marketing peers, using modern web technologies, and without having to configure so much stuff. "No-code" is not enough, and often removes power from developers. We wanted to have one environment from code to content. We wanted to build the other side of code! That's why we created deco.cx: for developers and marketing teams to build together, faster than ever. Developers write components and functions using Deno, JSX, TypeScript, and Tailwind. We automatically generate a beautiful, visual admin UI from the TypeScript code! Forget the costly and complex setup of a Headless CMS, or the inflexible structure of a no-code prison. deco.cx offers a seamless solution, making webdev straightforward for teams of all sizes: ➡️ We have a web-based Code Editor with real-time visual content previews ➡️ Automatic conversion from TypeScript code to visual forms ➡️ Realtime collaboration with your team members on all sites ➡️ Decopilot, a GPT-powered AI assistant for code and content creation ➡️ A strong focus on SEO and customizable themes (using Tailwind and DaisyUI) ➡️ Git-backed, and soon compatible with any TypeScript repo ➡️ Enterprise-grade features, including full control over release cycles, role-based permissions, real-time web analytics with Plausible, and error monitoring with HyperDX. Choose self-hosting or our comprehensive edge infrastructure at competitive prices, including CDN, hosting, analytics, and more for lower TCO in high-volume setups, simplifying your operations. Join us in shaping a simpler open-source frontend future. With 3,000 developers in our Discord, we're building a community-driven platform.

It's today? It's today! deco.cx team, congrats on your launch! I'm looking forward to trying it out. Top tier meme selection for the video too 🤌🤯🔥

Fun and easy, I love that! What else should it be in fact? The product features sound great, Congratulations on the launch! 🚀

We've been using it for around 2 weeks now, and we're loving the experience so far. It's like having a top-tier engineering team architecting your front-end without having to go through all the process of hiring and R&D. The amount of thought that has been put into making things performant and efficient is impressive. And best of all, it's not overly abstracted – at the end of the day, it's still web development as we all know and love. The barrier to adoption is incredibly low! 🤌

Congratulations on the launch 🚀 Product looks interesting. Does it have Figma & WordPress plugins?

Wow, this new kind of CMS is really great! Will there be tutorials/courses on how to go about learning everything necessary to be able to do it? Also, when will self-hosting be ready? Early 2024 is already over. 😄

Congrats on the launch! Love your intro video and the style you chose. Are you only working on websites right now? Or are you planning to do more?

Woah, this is huge. Could there be any more features!? Outstanding launch video with all the memes too! If this was my preferred tech stack, I'd surely use it. Looks extremely helpful and capable. Well done! Congrats on the launch!

I am a front-end developer, and started my career selling websites developed with Wordpress but I didn't like PHP that much. After that, I learned programming languages like JavaScript, and started to use frameworks like Angular, Vue, NextJS and libraries like React. Recently I migrated my main website to the Squarespace platform, because lowcode was easier than maintaining code everyday. But I faced some problems with that: high prices monthly or annually from the seller, and not so many opportunities to insert custom code with the languages I've learned and love, and needless to say tha we don't find help of a community of developers on the internet. That's why deco.cx became my favorite front-end as a service, because I can use TypeScript and TailwindCSS, two tech stacks I love the most and I was already so familiar with them. And the cost is incredibly cheaper compared to other players like Squarespace, and I can do a lot of more custom and complex things with it than with Squarespace or Wordpress. I am so excited with deco.cx 2.0, because it's even faster, more integrated with the major ecommerce platforms, and the admin panel was improved to be easier and self-explained. The community in Discord is really helpful, and it's a thing that we don't find in other platforms. Long life for all developers using deco.cx 2.0 - we all deserve a platform like this!

OK, this product trailer is an instant upvote. Besides that, the idea is great, takes me back to the good ol'days of building with Visual Basic hehe. The amount of work is tremendous, really impressive. Unfortunatelly, I wasn’t able to play around with any of the prebuilt templates, but hey, it’s launch day, so I’m guessing you guys are dealing with some heavy traffic right now! One thing I noticed though, is that the number of prebuilt templates seems a bit on the limited side, and I'm assuming it's a list that's curated by the development team. Given the building nature of the product, I think it’d be really cool to have a space where users can share all sorts of templates they’ve created with deco. Imagine having easy access to dozens, even hundreds of community-built templates right from the builder – that would be awesome.
