<story><title>Hot Page – a graphical site builder</title><url>https://hot.page/</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>WebBurnout</author><text>Hey, I&amp;#x27;m Tim and I created Hot Page. This is a long-time side project that I&amp;#x27;m now bootstrapping with the help of a couple of friends. The idea is to take the convenience of a drag-and-drop editor (Squarespace, Wix, etc), but never lose the connection to the basic building blocks of web pages: HTML elements, CSS rules, etc. The advent of Web Components makes this a really powerful model.&lt;p&gt;Although I&amp;#x27;m of course pleasantly surprised to see this on the front page of HN, I was planning on waiting a few months to post it myself because we are working on some ways to make the editor much more powerful. We have a long roadmap of new features like:&lt;p&gt;* more ways to edit CSS properties visually (without losing the 1:1 connection to the CSS generated)&lt;p&gt;* inline CSS (style attribute) editor for elements that let&amp;#x27;s you use :hover and media queries&lt;p&gt;* a library of code &amp;quot;snippets&amp;quot; that lives in the left panel along side the basic elements&lt;p&gt;* tighter integration with web components&lt;p&gt;* integrating VS code language servers for accurate auto completion everywhere&lt;p&gt;* and a whole lot more.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m a long time lurker on HN and have long loved the community here. All of your thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated, especially on our marketing because that is proving to be a real challenge.

While the slinky one is silly fun, the gallery one is very cool. Looks like it&amp;#x27;s light weight and easy to use.  I was impressed by the annotated source code page where you explain in detail what is going on. While jumping, swirling, multicolored text is your mission, your forte is the documentation you&amp;#x27;ve written.  Nice job.</text></comment>

I stumbled across it by accident (such are serendipities on web), thought it was cool and fat fingered it here. Looking forward to things coming in future.</text></comment>
