Author here. For context: I just released version 0.7.0 of the library. Thanks to Johannes Mutter (mutter.co), you can now build content blocks with any layout while Svedit smartly places gap cursors using CSS Anchor Positioning. Also fixes

Been dedicating a ton of time to this goal lately. I released a "SvelteKit template for building CMS-free editable websites" earlier this year and the idea has evolved since. I started out with using Postgres + MinIO for storage,

The editor payload now is loaded on demand (after you click edit), so it's truly progressively enhanced now. :) Thank you Nils Kjellman for the patch. https://github.com/michael/editable-website/pull/8

Yeah I'm a bit undecided. I'm more obsessed with pushing quality than with operating a SaaS business (which can easily turn you from creator to manager). Let's see where this leads. For now I'd be glad to help people wit

Yeah, that's a known issue. Mobile browser's shift the viewport (including fixed elements) when the soft keyboard gets activated. There are workarounds, but I haven't found a satisfying one that doesn't introduce other p

These two claims you mentioned are directed towards the end-user, need to make that more clear maybe. The template is aiming at frontend developers, who want to control the layout in code, but allow end-users to make content changes (withou

Yeah it's essentially bare-metal web development. Thanks to Svelte and ProseMirror, it's just much easier to enable functionality, which would otherwise only be possible through a CMS. It uses Postgres, but you could use any other

You could just use the filesystem indeed.

Exactly. This is for frontend developers, who want to control the layout in code, but allow end-users to make content changes (without destroying the layout :P). If you or your end-users prefer to also define layout and style in a visual in

Thinking about it some more, I agree that a having "static mirror" of the editable site might be a nice thing. But that's for another day to implement. If someone else does I'd be curious to see it in action!

To clarify: It's a different concept. And it's more of a starting point, rather than a solution. Its goal is not to build full-fledged a page builder or prototyping tools (such as Framer or Webflow). The layout is entirely up to t

"CMS-free" as in "does not depend on additional software to manage content". Postgres and S3 through MinIO are my preferred choices, but you can change that to anything you'd like to use instead. Glad you like the i

Intentionally there isn't. I wanted to demonstrate that a website with "editing" capabilities is no magic, and to encourage people to hack on every piece. My experience after 25 years of web development is that often examples

Incremental Static Regeneration could help here, but it introduces a whole category of implementation challenges. It may be worth it for high traffic websites but one beauty of the purely dynamic design is that you can mostly forget about a

I'm coming from a minimalist perspective. Of course a hand-crafted site like this template doesn't cover all the enterprise CMS use cases, such as image manipulation, video transcoding etc. It's not a one-size-fits-it-all sol

Haha, yeah. I justify this decision by assuming that designer-folks wouldn't be afraid to touch the code if it were JavaScript but would it were TypeScript. :) To me JavaScript does a great job (if you know what you are doing) and if y

Yes, the challenge is taming contenteditable. I'm using ProseMirror under the hood with custom models for <Plaintext> and <Richtext> editing, which you can adapt to your needs. One limitation (of ProseMiror) is that you don

Excellent question. They do end up downloading the extra payload at the moment. It's something that could be optimized with `await import` in the future. My general approach to this is considering website development as "minimal w
