MakeThemCode

Your Next.js site, editable by your whole team

Content in code, components everywhere, and a CMS that would be overkill. MakeThemCode runs your Next.js dev server in the cloud so non-developers can change it by chat, with a live preview.

$1.00 of free credit on every new project. No subscription.

Why Next.js sites are hard for non-developers to edit

Content lives in the code

Pages, copy and translations are often in components and JSON files. Changing them means a pull request.

A headless CMS is a project

Modelling content, wiring the API and handling previews takes days, and layout changes still need a developer.

Small tickets pile up

Copy tweaks and minor UI fixes wait in the backlog behind features.

How does it work?

No install, no terminal. Everything in your browser, on your phone, laptop, tablet.

  1. 1

    Your developer, or anyone with GitHub access

    Connect the codebase

    Pick the GitHub repository of the project.

  2. 2

    The project owner

    Invite your team

    Add collaborators by email and choose what each of them can do.

  3. 3

    Your team

    Chat, check, submit

    Ask for a change in the chat, check it in a live preview of the real app, and submit it when it looks right.

Your Next.js app, running in a cloud sandbox

Non-developers edit the real code, developers keep the guardrails.

next dev with a live preview

The sandbox installs your dependencies and runs your dev server. Every edit shows up in the preview with hot reload.

Safe by default

Mark config, API routes, middleware or anything else as "requires review" or "forbidden". Changes to those files go through review.

Deployed like any commit

Changes land on your repository. If you deploy on Vercel or with your own CI, nothing changes in your pipeline.

Questions

Does it work with the App Router?
Yes. The sandbox runs your project as it is, whatever the Next.js version or router.
What about environment variables?
You add the variables the dev server needs in the project settings. The sandbox uses them to run your app.
Does it support other frameworks?
Yes, any web app that runs in Docker. Next.js is just a common case.

Pay per request, with spending limits per project and per member. Developers keep control of the repository.
