Thank you @kevin for hunting us! 🙌 It's been around a year and a half since we were last on product hunt. At that time we had a development framework for building websites and web applications. As you can see we have evolved into a full featured CMS in the meantime. The technology and how we build websites and applications is evolving, and one of the current trends, that will most likely define the next era of the "cloud" is called serverless. We decided to take a bet on that and build a full features CMS designed for such an environment. We hope you'll give Webiny a try. At the moment we are in beta and are looking for feedback.

Hey guys, for those who would like to try it out, do you provide a free account?

@jonathangoc of course we do. While we are in beta (probably for next few weeks), all the accounts, on our managed hosted platform, are 100% free of charge. Webiny is also open source, so you can run it for free on any machine.

Webiny looks amazing! I love the drag and drop builder and all the nice little touches such as icon search. I've used website builders before and this one is very nice so great work there! Unfortunately, there is a dealbreaker that prevents me from exploring Webiny further. The website load times are very slow. Loading the default Webiny site takes over 4 seconds! The issue seems to be static file download speed. I notice that chunk.js is over half a megabyte and takes over 1 second to download. The other static assets take over a second to download as well. If you can setup a CDN to automatically distribute static assets to memcache server with 100 Gigabit fiber output, that might help your static assets load faster. Looking forward to great things from Webiny!

@rayliverified thanks Ray. The load time is something we are addressing. There will be a different CDN used for when a website is served over a custom domain and the load times we expect will improve. This is one area that is never perfect and constant improvements will need to be done over time. Not sure if you noticed, but for example for all images inserted via the page builder, we actually serve a srcset back to the browser with multiple image sizes, which improves page load times on mobile greatly. Additionally to battle latency, we plan to introduce an option so a user can choose from which AWS region his site will be served.

@svenalhamad Thanks Sven, I think you're onto something really great here! My coworker was looking for a CMS platform (not Wordpress!) and Webiny seems to be trying to fill that niche. Can't wait to see how Webiny improves!

I'm not a developer myself, but the idea behind this looks really useful for all developers out there. Should make their life easier. I might give it a try myself for my own website makeover, too! :)

@vforvukovic Thanks Ognjen 🙌It was an itch we had ourselves, so a scratch was required :P Hope you join our beta and let us know your feedback.

Hey Sven. I made an account, created a website, and I can't seem to access the DIY interface. Is this hidden?
Sven Al Hamad

@andupotorac It shouldn't be. Once you create your side, you will get an admin link. Using that link you will access the editor for that site. In case of any problems, feel free to use the chat on site and we'll help you out.

@svenalhamad Hey Sven, I'll send feedback in the chat. A loom video to help us out figure out what's wrong.

@andupotorac Brilliant, thanks!

@svenalhamad A chat doesn't show either. Maybe I'm not looking at the right product, ha! Here's the video: https://www.useloom.com/share/09...

@andupotorac I see your issue Andu. So when you create a website. Every website is its own instance, with its own administration. When you select the website, under the "overview" tab, in the first box you will see the "Admin url" for that website. Click the url, it will actually open up the admin UI to manage the content for that site. Login in and you should be able to manage your pages for that site from there. Hope this helps.
