AlpacApp

I'm excited to announce the rebranding of Yawb.io to AlpacApp! Our website builder has evolved into a more versatile platform, now with extended functionality, built-in Notion integration, highly customizable designs, and the ability to export websites.

I believe this rebranding will help our users create even more amazing websites and digital experiences. Come and check out AlpacApp and see for yourself how it can take your digital presence to the next level!

With the yawb.io + Notion integration, you are now able to natively embed Notion pages into your yawb.io websites.

Use your favorite writing tool with all its fancy AI features to create content and connect it to your yawb.io website seamlessly. It can’t be easier than that.

It supports Notions blocks from paragraphs, headings, toggle blocks, tables, code, equations and much more!

It's also possible to fully customize the elements to make them look exactly the way you want them to!

One feature that I really think will be of great value for yawb.io's users is a full integration with Notion.

Notion is everyone's favorite content writing platform especially that they have recently integrated some unique AI features.
The idea is to allow users to write their content directly in Notion and then through a single click be able to sync their yawb.io website with their Notion pages.

It will also be possible to create blogs and list posts (Notion pages) directly in yawb.io

Today, I'm officially launching yawb.io, Yet Another Website Builder, on Product Hunt.

I've had some experience with launching on Product Hunt and what I've got to say is that it's a great way to get visibility for your product but also to get some initial feedback.

The negative thing I've got to say though is that launching on PH is not the end of the marketing and I've done this mistake numerous times. I launch on PH and especially if it doesn't get much traction, my "marketing energy" quickly wears off.

PH is a good channel for launching, but you need to have a long-term strategy and build channels that will bring new customers after that.

The launch went Okay, it was product #34, which isn't the greatest place, but I still got to showcase the project to an audience and many picked it up. Now it's time to focus on more ways to attract users.

I'm building yawb.io, Yet Another Website Builder, in public and it's has several benefits:

1. There's a sense of accountability when you make daily updates pushing you to deliver on a recurring basis.
2. You're building a community and grow your following
3. Once the project is ready for launch, you've already built some momentum and you'll have your first customers faster.

That's why I've been building in public and publishing updates as often as possible on twitter https://www.twitter.com/ybouane.

I think one main reason indie developers sometimes choose not to build in public is that they are afraid that someone might steal their idea and beat them to market.

As a web developper and web designer, I'm constantly building websites and while I prefer to code websites myself, it's often easier (especially for smaller projects) and simpler to use a Website Builder.

• You don't need to setup a server and a whole infrastructure
• If it's a client work and only want to do the setup, you can give them access to the admin so that they can manage the content themselves after that
• It's easier to maintain longterm, no security updates or libraries to keep up to date

The issue though is that all website builders have some major issues that are a real pain:

• Lack of flexibility
• Expensive subscriptions
• Being platform locked

That's what I aim to solve with yawb.io.

yawb.io stands for Yet Another Website Builder, but this one is different I promise.

Here's what I've done to solve the problems I mentioned and this is what makes yawb.io truly unique:

• ↕️ It's expandable: Everything in yawb.io is a block that you can drag and drop onto the page. What makes yawb.io unique is that you can build your own blocks if you want.
• 🎨 It's highly customizable: You can click on any element on the page and customize its styling with ease.
• 🗂️ You can export your website: If you want to host your landing page or website on your own servers. With a single click, you can download a zip file with the html files, assets and images used in the website.
• 💰 Inexpensive: yawb.io offers an always free plan and if you wish, you can subscribe to the premium plan for only 5$/month. How is that possible? As opposed to other platforms, we do not spend thousands of dollars sponsoring YouTube videos.
