Cool new mini-site creator
Permalink
Just saw this on hacker news:
http://orbs.com/
It's like a super quick, hosted, mini-site creator with in-context editing. Pretty spiffy!
Obviously only 10% of the functionality of concrete5 (plus its a hosted service so no customizing), but very slick for what it does.
I especially like how there's a separate buttons for adding a page vs. adding a subpage (and the sitemap is always visible) -- I often have problems with C5 where clients add new pages but then "lose" it because it accidentally wound up as a sub-sub-sub page.

Thanks for sharing, Jordan!
Yeah, that's really quite nice. I can totally see them hooking up with a company that offers a nice visual design interface for back end development. The best relational DB I've ever used was a completely visual programming environment. I often wonder why, in this day and age, we're still writing SQL queries and programming in strings of text for the benefit of a compiler or interpreter. :-/ But I digress...
I can see most web development some day being done via online services in a completely visual and free-form manner. I long for that day.
