The terms of service suggest that you lose ownership of content when publishing. Is this correct? Cannot really be used for commercial use if this is the case. > Material that you upload will be regarded as non-confidential and not owned. This means that we can copy it, distribute it, and show it to other people for any purpose. Additionally the Acceptable use Policy referred to in the TOC 404s https://www.nocode.works/accepta... The website also has no info on pricing.

@andrewmahood Hi Andrew, firstly thanks for the spot on pricing, I've added in the link to our mobile menu which I noticed was missing and why I think you couldn't see anything.

@andrewmahood Secondly, thank you for pointing out the TC & PP were incorrect. I've have just updated both to reflect the changes in the system in the last few months. Much appreciated.

I think notion is quite convenient for publishing online docs as well. Could you explain why customers should chose yours over notion and other online doc sharing services? I can think of one that you can write docx on you local computer and upload it.

@dspjm hey Jimmy, Notion is really cool, I haven't really thought about using it to drive a website though, I'll have a look. As well as needing to build quite a lot of simple websites. A number of our clients previously had a huge amount of information and content already in Google Docs. So one of the reasons we developed this idea was to let people build from the content they already have with tools they already know. Google Docs collaboration and permissions systems allow for a massive amount of flexibility and zero learning curve. Then you just need someone to arrange the documents in Nocode and publish them. We're definitely not the answer for everybody, but we think we could be a really useful and affordable solution for a few. Thanks for getting In touch.

@traf @mike_seekwell It looks like it's about notion. It looks interesting, but I am missing your point as to this project. Are you recommending this product? BTW, the website you gave cannot be opened in my Firefox.

Very interesting. I have a typeform i want a user to fill in and then display the answers he/she provides on a webpage. I wonder if this can do this for me?

@firgrove_forbes Hi there, You can add snippets to a page in Nocode. You can use them to embed items, so I think you should be OK.

@adam_knight so you can add a picture of what the user submits in a form? Not sure i follow, will check out your website - this is a feature ive been struggling to find, so am super keen to learn

Really nice concept, especially for multi-user editing I am concerned about a few things 1. Image optimization - even your own home page has images almost 1MB in size which significantly slows down page loading speed (though your pages overall are very fast) - you need to have image optimization 2. Bandwidth - with only 1GB on the middle plan your users are going to exceed that very fast just from their own test browsing. Add to that bots coming crawling - I used to budget 15GB just for bot traffic on a relatively small blog (500 pages/posts - optimized), and that was 10 years ago. You need to have a much better solution because even the top plan, 10 GB is going to be eaten up very fast, and you don't have any details of bandwidth costs after that. 3. You are using Cloudflare for your main site. Is that something your users can use as well? That might offset some of the bandwidth costs 4. SEO/Social/Accessibility - no descriptions, no social meta, no alt tags for images (on your own site), no schema There may also be issues with unique titles because many of your own pages don't have unique title tags. I am assuming that was just being lazy. If a site was ever ranking a nasty blackhat is going to have a field day creating duplicate content without any canonical set or parameter validation. The first link from the home page of a blog to a post is an image without an alt attribute. No No No. 5. Dogfooding - you have a screenshot of a blog example at Astonish email, which is your other product. That blog is running on Squarespace. If you can't use it there for technical reasons I understand but give potential users real example sites to look at using your platform. To be fair to you I haven't pointed any tools at the sites beyond a quick code inspection by eyeball mk1 and 1 Lighthouse report. I understand it is a MVP but for me it isn't a "Minimum Loveable Product" Any product with major bandwidth costs is just a huge no. To me it seems you should maybe be publishing using a customer's own netlify account so you can forget about bandwidth costs and charge based on features.

@andybeard Thanks for the feedback! Some reponses to your excellent points: 1. image optimzation You are correct about this - we will run through images and apply size optimzations so they are smaller. This also applies to images uploaded by users - we do not currently do any processing on those images so a 2MB image will be served as is. This is something we have on our roadmap however. 2. Bandwidth Yes this is an excellent point - and I totally agree that a paying customer shouldn't have to worry about bandwidth limits. We put those limits on to prevent bots eating all of our bandwidth for free sites. I totally agree that the limits for paid sites are very stingy however and the cost of a pro or ultimate plan would easily cover a 10x (or more) increase in the bandwidth quota and so we will look at this right away. 3. Interesting - yes would be possible to route published sites via cloudflare and this would (like you say) help with bandwidth and all of the other security related features that cloudflare offers! (great point thank you) 4. SEO/Social/Accessibility - you are entirely correct about these points. We have an issue on our roadmap for all the things you have said. I will now put this at the top of the list for things we focus on next so thank you for pointing that out :-) 5. Dogfooding - the Astonish documentation is using nocode but the Astonish blog currently does not - I can see the confusion because we have a blog template. Our own documentation (https://guide.nocode.works/) and blog (https://blog.nocode.works/) *are* running on nocode however so there is some degree of dogfooding going on :-) (and it was really easy to put together the nocode docs using nocode) > To me it seems you should maybe be publishing using a customer's own netlify account so you can forget about bandwidth costs and charge based on features. ^^ that is an *excellent* point - using nocode as the builder and another hosting provider for the hosting. A nocode site is very much just a folder of static files (no server other than basic HTTP server required) so it would be very possible for us to integrate with existing hosting providers (like netlify) - thank you for this it is really good feedback!

Google Docs is already a very powerful tool with the ability to work remotely on it as a team. Hopefully not too 'overkill' with this nice project. ;)

@phil_co Hey Phil, thanks for the comment. We made this because we kept having a need for it ourselves. A simple way to get content published without any hassle. Yes, the collaboration options that Google Docs already has inbuilt are great and one of the reasons we though it would be cool to wrap something around it.
