For your next website… Skip the CMS Define structure and layout in code with Svelte Let clients edit text, images, and videos directly on the page — easily and safely, without breaking your design This is Editable — launching in preview today Install now: editable.website

First country to be at the mercy of its students. ;) As it should be. Congrats, Serbia!

Imagine someone hacks your website… …but all they find is public data. That’s the worst that could happen to your editable.website. It doesn’t even store user credentials, or emails. Just pages that are public anyways.

What if Claude could update your website live, with no rebuild and nothing breaking in subtle ways? editable.website/claude-make-...

Soon it'll be easier to build custom apps on top of editable.website. Add custom code through defined interfaces, while still keeping your copy in sync with upstream Editable. There might still be conflicts to resolve, but they'll be less likely.

Tried @attie.ai. Asked it to make a better version of the editable.website home page: attie.ai/@michaelaufr... Did it succeed? You tell me!

Is there or is there planned a concept of organizations in @atproto.com? Like so I can use my personal handle to manage data on behalf of an org’s handle. (Much like on Github I’m logged in as michael but creating an issue in the svelte repo at the sveltejs org…)

Launched letsken.com in 2021. Didn't manage to get it off the ground, but still proud of the concept and implementation. Finally got to downscale it — aka host forever™. Before: Postgres+S3+ImgX Now: SQLite+asset files 10x faster. Costs down from 50€/m to 0€. 🎉

Editable 2.0 Preview 10 is here — Syntax highlighting for code blocks — Editable banner for site-wide announcements — Bug fixes editable.website

Wrote about how you can now translate your website right on the page (without a separate admin panel). editable.website/translate-yo...

Oh boy! This is already looking promising... Thanks to CSS Custom Highlights syntax highlighting can be on during editing, without messing with Svedit's selection mapping.

Now is the time: Will try to sprinkle some TWINKLEPLOP into editable.website this weekend. 😁

Oh, and how could I forget to mention: We are running on SvelteKit 3 now. 🔥

Big one: Editable 2.0 Preview 9 is out — Native support for multilingual sites — Copy link to block (aka deep linking) — Improve video processing (better quality, smaller file size) — Preserve structure and formatting when pasting HTML from clipboard github.com/michael/edit...

“Why not build editable.website on a more popular framework?” I get asked this a lot. Because for building websites, Svelte is simply the best framework. And my opinion hasn't changed. Async Svelte is going to be the best thing since sliced bread.

Svedit 0.15.0 is out! github.com/michael/svedit

Coming soon to Svedit and Editable: Copy and paste that keeps structure and formatting.

I think this might be the easiest way to translate website content. What do you think? 😊

Been doing a lot of content editing on Editable sites over the past few days. At this point, I’m pressing Cmd + E from muscle memory on other websites I visit, hoping they’ll become fully editable. 😄

May be soon time for another attempt to bring syntax highlighted codeblocks to editable.website.

Memory prices are going up. An Editable website runs perfectly on just 256MB RAM. And @fly.io waives invoices under $5, so you can essentially host your Editable website for free. editable.website/can-i-really...

Editable 2.0 Preview 8 is out! — Carousel layout for galleries — Decent tooltips that bring the keyboard shortcuts to attention — Platform-dependent display of keyboard shortcuts — Pretty 404 page — And lots of smaller fixes and improvements...

Shout-out to a growing group of svedit.dev users! Hope you’re having a smooth sailing. And if you happen to hit rough seas and need a compass, hit me up!

Nothing to see here... Just an in-place editable.website carousel. (Illustrations by bookofshapes.com)

Sunday afternoon read for people building websites.

That first editable.website blog post is taking a little longer than expected. But I’m putting a lot of thought and reflection into it, and I think it will answer many of your questions. Soon! :)

Quick intro to the Editable Design System Thx @johannesmutter.bsky.social for setting the base of the design language and creating a beautiful set of icons for the editor. editable.website/design-system

What a cool person she was! RIP

Have a nice weekend, everyone! And don't forget:

This is how you create a blog post on an Editable website. There's no concept of collections or posts. Everything is a page, and you can link them up. And get creative with how you do that.

Overwhelmingly positive reactions to editable.website. With concerns: — Can I really skip the CMS? — Is it battle-tested? — Does it support collections (posts)? — Multi-lang? Planning a series of blog posts, that should help you decide, if Editable's right for you (yet).

Editable 2.0 Preview 5 is out! — New blocks: Listing and TitledGallery — Sticky nav and footer — Table of contents for LOOONG pages — Subtle crossfade page transitions — UX improvements and bug fixes Install: editable.website/manual#quick...

Oh wow! 493 git clones of michael/editable only yesterday alone. Can't wait to see what you'll build with it! Know HTML + CSS? You're good to get started. Worked with Svelte already? Even better! If you have questions, please post them on the forum: github.com/michael/edit...

It's time to try kimbia.app All feedback welcome, we are early and we are listening.
