A software marketplace for non-coders. https://widgetic.com
Widgetic (https://widgetic.com/) | Full-Stack JavaScript Engineer | Remote | Full-Time & Part-Time
Our mission is to enable developers to earn meaningful recurring revenue. We're building a two-sided marketplace where non-technical people subscribe to immersive apps for their websites, which are provided by our developer community.
Our tech stack is built with NodeJS (Express, Hapi), Svelte 3, Sapper, as well as different tools for our infrastructure.
This position is fully remote. Please email andu@widgetic.com your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub. Thanks!
Invest:
- some in crypto
- some in a few angel rounds
- put some aside as the stock market will crash and you'll be able to buy most stuff at 80% (or more) discount
Take the money.
Solve your own problem. If you have no problems it means you don't experience enough about life. Travel more, invest in new experience and learn.
Write down those problems and apply a design thinking process, so you don't invest time in them if they aren't worth it. :)
Yes, but it's about 6 hours.
It happens for us as well, it started this week. Lots of users complaining.
Sketch. :)
Over the past few months we worked on a simple web tool that allows anyone to create visual interactives on the spot.
Let's do it. Let's change the blue button from "GET IT" to "HAVE A LOOK"!
Because his team returned with the spacecraft and spent more than 500 additional days in space to pick him up.
What a great contribution to the open source space! We'll to get our hands dirty with this library! Thanks! :-)
We did, but on a much smaller scale: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/erotic-fan-fiction-value...

Useful to tell better stories and retain readers, these widgets are also a great engagement boost. :-)
Indeed, it does. The widgets are completely responsive as you can see here: https://www.facebook.com/widgetic/videos/vb.311160592370762/...
For those that prefer to embed a specific one in unspecific ways, we provide an API for that http://docs.widgetic.com/#building-a-custom-editor. But it's only for developers.
We decided to reveal the new Widgetic interface and branding in our first WordPress plugin. We look forward to any feedback, good or bad, that would help us improve the product.
We've taken a good look at the product, lovely interface and ux! Easy to use on a desktop.
I have a question about mobile. What is your plan for devices regarding the Editor itself? Do you plan to go native?
It's fine, we've done a change so that it works. ;)
Is there a way you can send the referrer to the iframe in edit mode?
Hi. We're trying to test a widget embed in your site, but it seems the iframe is possibly being embedded in another iframe, when in the site editor mode. Which is strange, because when the page is published, it actually displays the widget: http://testandu.broadsheet.io/544a10fa5065790200338377
On our platform we're testing the referrer to make sure there's no unauthorised embeds, we cannot access it hence we cannot preview widget in the site editor mode.
We're rebranding as Widgetic. We're called Blogvio now (http://blogvio.com/).
So personally I've been focused on building the new identity and securing the domain name, Twitter username (had to purchase this one from an existing user), Facebook vanity URL, Google, Vimeo and all the other accounts we needed.
The icon we've been working on, although not final, should help users see two things depending on where they look from (front, sides) - I'd love to hear your guesses - what do you see?
Here's a more fine tuned / in progress version: http://o7.no/1hE7mOY
Once the rebranding is done we can finally release our API under the new name, so we don't break any integrations with our product.
UPDATE: Should point out that these same widgets work on any other platform too: http://blogvio.yolasite.com.
David, great work on the new landing page!
I'd love to know what's your take on third party integrations with Weebly - are you guys working on an App Store or this is only doable through partnerships? If only partnerships, what's the best way reach out?
We're a platform offering customisable widgets, currently rebranding as Widgetic. I played with some widgets here: http://vuzum.weebly.com. Oana Calugar (at Weebly) has reached out to us a while ago and I agree with her, we do fit as a glove. :-)
