Template builder but for Nextjs
Hello guys,
I came up with an idea to build a SaaS like editorx but this one is for Nextjs.
I'm planning to add some ready to use templates that the use can edit and change content as he wants and also create components to re-use.
And give full access to the code of the template to download or edit freely for more flexibility.
If that works, I'm planning to add more frameworks like Vue.js and Laravel.
Do you think it's a good idea?
Can't recall the names, but I've seen a number of NextJS / Component based page builders crop up in the past year or so.
It's a tool that's made a lot of sense to me, but definitely a crowded space.
More generally, page builders really only see success in the enterprise space. There's a long tail of users, but reality is most want something for free, and readily bounce when something else comes along.
Don't know what the stats are, but a while back the breakdown for Shopify stores was roughly this: Out of 500 stores, 50 had revenue, and only 5 had material revenue. So you need to compete for that 1% to build a business a real business.
I know you're not going after Shopify customers, but the distribution is definitely representative.
Where i do see a potential area is a B2B2B/C play -- eg. a white labeled page builder -- there's probably a few out there, but I haven't come across any in the past when I've looked. Now you're adding value to someone that presumably has already figured out how to find customers of value (or has the $$ to spend while they figure it out).
My 2 cents!
If you don't want to build the editor and start earning MRR ASAP
I built https://versoly.com/, the code can easily be exported and converted to React/Vue/Laravel etc

The website looks great, is the code imported to html and css?
And when you said converted, do you convert it or should i do the conversation?
Exports to HTML and Tailwind.
You would need to convert the pages and components from HTML -> React (Nextjs)
