drag and drop universal template editor

Overview

Stastic Designer is a work in progress tool that aims to create a drag and drop universal template editor based on the Silex open-source website builder. Currently, it is compatible with Jekyll and 11ty, but no documentation is available yet. The tool offers both a desktop app for local usage and an online mode for working without installation. It includes features such as a template panel for writing HTML+liquid code, publication support for 11ty and Jekyll, component loading, and a tool for converting selected elements into components. It also provides support for various adapters like 11ty, Jekyll, Forestry, and Salesforce Pardot.

Features

  • Desktop app: Allows users to work locally and potentially offline.
  • Online mode: Enables users to work online without the need for installation.
  • Template panel: A panel that allows users to write HTML+liquid code, which will be inserted at publication time while still displaying the element in Silex and preview mode.
  • Publication support: Supports publication for 11ty and Jekyll, where each page becomes a layout and files are stored in their respective folders and formats (CSS, JS, HTML, assets).
  • Component loading: Users can load components specific to a website, which are stored with the website.
  • Convert to component tool: Provides a tool to convert selected elements into components.
  • Included adapters: Offers adapters for 11ty, Jekyll, Forestry, and Salesforce Pardot.
