Cool idea, and I really like how the site still functions for readers with JS disabled, which is (as far as I'm aware) uncommon for this sort of thing.

One thing that isn't clear from reading the GitHub page — do all visitors end up downloading the editor payload or do only admins who are logged in get that?

SvelteKit is such a breath of fresh air, glad to see it used on this.

It really is - writing a svelte component feels like writing something in vanilla html/js/css, but you get all the advantages that come with a framework.

This is the primary reason I love working with it. Coming from the times of jQuery, I can think in those terms like I used to and don't have to constantly translate it into React patterns.

This will sound snarky but I just write in html and css. No requirements, no set up, no steps.

Is contenteditable not widely used? Is it too limited? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_att...

WYSIWYG editing is still under-utilized on the web! This is exciting!

Do your clients take the HTML/CSS and manually edit/add/remove pages themselves?

contenteditable is pretty terrible if you want it to behave exactly the same on all browsers. that's why there are projects like CKeditor or TinyMCE.

The template linked uses contenteditable (through prosemirror) and builds on top of it

That’s good for you but did you know many people don’t know how to code in HTML and CSS?
