Working on @silex template UX today

Shipping soon: when you start from a template, you see who made it, the license, and can easily โญ star it and contribute improvements back

This will help with our brand new "start from a template" feature

BTW @ceubri we're crowdfunding 4 new templates for agencies & freelancers: https://roadmap.silex.me/posts/61/templates-for-agencies-and-freelancers-template-pack-1

FOSDEM 2026 - Free/Libre Web Design workflows: static sites, no-code tools and WordPress headless

Back then:
โ€œHTML & CSS? Unsexy, oldschool!!โ€
throws WordPress/Drupal/Typo3 at a 5-page website

Same people today:
โ€œHeadless Markdown, JAMstack, content-first.โ€

Guess why.
LLMs can only output static content.

๐ŸŽ‰ How exciting! I'll be hosting a #BOF at @fosdem 2026 about free/libre web design workflows

Static sites, no-code tools and WordPress headless with @silex and @11ty

Experimenting with something exciting for @silex

I started playing with @TauriApps for the feature request "Silex Desktop" - offline mode / no GitLab needed (https://roadmap.silex.me/posts/3/silex-desktop)

But then I'm thinking what if I just rewrote the backend in #Rust anyway? I'd love to learn rust and I'd love to ditch #nodejs and #electron

I don't forget that I love @11ty and Silex is in fact a #JAMStack/#11ty visual editor.. Which is JS everywhere... So...

Silex desktop ยท Silex Roadmap

Silex Desktop is an installable app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows working entirely offline or with local files for faster performance. Lega

@eleventy @ceubri @contrapunctus

I don't want to be begging and I feel like it's normal for users to contribute - everything so far is free: from hosting with custom domain, CMS integration, git versioning and collaboration...

So the users will soon see a new "create a new site from a template" button and this warning when they click on it

You can tell who came from #WordPress and who came from #Jamstack. - WordPress = blocks = Leaflet - Jamstack CMS/SSG = #Markdown (usually) = Markdown ATmosphere blogging services ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ––๐Ÿฝ
Why I'm not a Full-stack Dev

The Internet should be a place where ideas can live and spread without people extracting rent at every turn. Where an emerging nonprofit can publish their mission statement without paying Squarespace $300/year. Where a poet can share their work without feeding it into Meta's engagement.
