Hello c/opensource@lemmy.ml!
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)

I also just launched two Lemmy communities if you want to join the project:
Talk to you soon
That's a great question, here’s how I see it:
It’s not necessarily easier — the complexity just lives elsewhere :)
