Comment on Show HN: Liberate – Painlessly add user editable content to static HTML webpages

Comments

Watching the video, my first thought is that it's very anti-seo (because it looks like you're inserting the dynamic content via JS).

If that's the case, I'd never recommend this for pages/content where seo is critical.

So, as much as I hate WordPress—and I really do—I don't see this as a viable alternative. I need more convincing ...

BTW, I don't want to just pee in your cheerios, so I will admit the actual execution/tech aspect is impressive.

Hey callmeed,

That's right, I haven't found a method for content updated this way to be indexable by search engines.

While it's not going to replace server-side generated HTML, I think certain types of content that needs to be updated regularly aren't going to mean much for search engine rankings.

Announcements, promotions, product updates, statements verses of the week, are some I can think of offhand.
