Built my site in 5 minutes. Great idea! EDIT: How do I do a mailto link, also how do I set a custom favicon?

@stevetauber Thanks! The lack of configurability (e.g. mailto links) is probably the biggest challenge I need to overcome. I'll make sure that we can put mailto links in the social links in the next rev of the templates. The favicon one is also a great push - not possible yet, but will be shortly.

@akshayr Thanks for the reply! Also, I couldn't figure out how to switch templates after I built. I'd really like to see the velocity template added too. Thanks again. Super idea.

I keep getting "PERMANENT ERROR GENERATING SITE. There was a problem generating your site that cannot be corrected. Please delete and recreate." What's going on? What is a "Permanent Error" anyways?

@dovizu Permanent Error means I'm never going to try again. We were surprised by CardForm being hunted so early so our error messages are not the most user friendly sorry. The specific error is probably something I need to hunt down and fix ASAP.

UI Patterns

Interesting approach. A different way of doing content management. A couple of thoughts... 1. It would be really cool to see a snapshot of a trello board and a snapshot of the generated website. It helps visualize the outcome and get an idea if this is usefult to me or not. It doesn't necessarily need to be interactive. 2. Show examples for different use cases. While it is visible on the website that you can create app landing pages, coming soon pages ... It would be awesome to see from *this (the trello board)* to *that (the webpage)*.

@kovlex Thanks for the suggestion. I've updated the website so that each of the four examples links includes a link to the Trello board that created it.

Interesting idea. I'd like to see the Trello board that made that website. Would help show the reality of the idea here.

@fredrivett Great call. Here's the board: https://trello.com/b/QTGHS2QY/ca...

@akshayr Very cool, thanks for sharing that Akshay. This method definitely intrigues me, a short video walkthrough showing a site being generated from a Trello board would really help clarify how each card goes into generating the website. Great work though 👌

Props, very cool idea. Important question though, can you manage the domain names easily enough? You have for cardform.co, so I guess its fairly easy. Based on how easy it is to duplicate a trello board, its got some great potential for making easy websites that all follow the same format (app landing pages, etc).
