Hello c/[email protected]!

I’m the maintainer of Silex, a free/libre, no-code website builder focused on open web standards and static websites

We’re getting some traction recently and users are asking for a new app to work offline without logging in, so we're looking for a developer to build the new Silex Desktop app — a free/libre, installable version of Silex for local/offline use

If you’re excited by web design and open web tooling, we’d love to hear from you

About the project

✅ Funding is available to kickstart the project.

Tech stack:

• TypeScript, HTML/CSS, Node.js
• CLI, git, npm workflows
• Eleventy (11ty) (Static Site Generator)
• Neutralino.js

We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves web standards and web design
• Shares progress openly and listens to users
• Believes in FOSS (no open core, no lock-ins)
