Builder.io Ideas
Builder is so flexible and has so many potentially new workflows for devs that it's confusing to know how to get started and how to structure a Builder project. The developer hub page has a "choose your framework" section, which is a good start, but the challenge is more holistic: how do you accomplish your goals with Builder?
What if we created an app/widget/page where users could input their stack and their goals and get back a boilerplate project (if applicable) and a curated/personalized set of docs with recommendations on workflow for their team?
createapp.dev is a good example of this concept for web developers who want to generate boilerplate projects tailored to their stack preferences. While createapp.dev is highly-technical, our generator would be usable by anyone:
Example input: I'm a content creator with a Shopify store who wants to create a custom landing page with analytics.
Example output: Demo Builder project connected to demo Shopify store, plus docset showing how to create a landing page using the Builder Shopify app, and how to access analytics dashboards on the insights page.
Example input: I'm an agency developer working with Gatsby instances for headless CMS and I want to give my clients a way to design their own pages.
Example output: Demo Builder project and Gatsby git repo with Builder integration, plus docset showing how to integrate Builder with Gatsby and whitelabel Builder.
Example input: My team of marketers wants to create a blog from scratch with custom 3D visualizations.
Example output: Demo Builder blog project, plus docset showing how to create content in Visual Editor and integrate React components, plus a Calendly link to book a time slot with a Builder rep to match their team with a Builder expert for making a custom React dataviz component.
V1 of the custom generated docset concept would basically be a list of links to our existing docs meant to be followed in order. A kind of mini-course syllabus.
We could also add questions about the user's long-term goals, team size, etc. to get a better profile of people who are interested in Builder.
