Standard elements for a web page

A case study in using standard components for standard requirements

What is this?

Get to know the idea

Most web pages use standard components and elements for functionality in the frontend and backend respectively. This gave rise to Google's Firebase project, which provides functioning backend elements virtually every web or mobile app needs, such as a database, user management and analytics. In the frontend, powerful frameworks such VueJS and Bulma arose to provide a set of standard tools and elements for developers shortening time-to-market and offering a better experience for end users.

This trend is further strengthened by companies like Unbounce, Squarespace, Netlify and so on, that hyper-focus on one aspect of the web developer experience to shorten development cycles ever further. However, there is little to no interoperability between all these tools and a lot of manual setup is still required to, say, create a blog within your web page, that is statically generated, integrated in your git flow and still manageable by your non-technical colleagues.

This project tries to remedy this fact.

Focus on what matters most: Your business

And don't reinvent the wheel over and over again

Take the humble blog

So simple, yet so complicated

There exit a host of solutions like Netlify CMS, Forest and so on to generate and manage blogs. But do they integrate in tools like Firebase?
