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…

Almost 3 years ago I posted v1 here. This is v2, a complete rewrite built on Svedit, an open source rich text editor I wrote specifically for structured in-place editing. The idea …

Thank you, let us know if any questions come up. And if you had a perfect experience, let us know too! :) https://github.com/PostOwl/postowl/discussions

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 sta…

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/ed…

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…

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 satis…

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 …

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 …

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…

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 …

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 …

"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 …

Which link (url) gives you the 500? Would love to reproduce and fix.

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 ye…

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…

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 transco…

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 doe…

Yes, the challenge is taming contenteditable. I'm using ProseMirror under the hood with custom models for and editing, which you can adapt to your needs. One limitation (of ProseMi…

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 thi…
