Show HN: Personal website generator, full demo with no signup
So many new services get launched every week, I love trying them out but there's always a signup form in the way.
Just wanted to share a new approach I'm trying for my own side project. (qiip.me is a personal site generator)
To try it out, just use the URL. For example:
http://qiip.me/try/github/mdo
This would fetch a github account and enable me to try different themes. You could also do:
http://qiip.me/try/github/ed-lea/dribbble/edlea
I really like the simple clean design. On the other hand, I would never use this as-is. It's simply not a service I have any reason to use. However, I might use it if I were building a business and needed a skeleton that pulls people in by giving them individual websites.
This is a really cool idea, and a pretty solid implementation! A tiny bit rough around the edges but you might be onto something.
Sorry, but I don't get it..
This is meant more as a tool for me to show people directly what their site would look like.
For example, without asking you to sign up, I could build a link where all you do is click to try http://qiip.me out
But for regular visitors to the site, you just click on the icons on the home page which does the same thing.
great idea !
