Widgets as gallery, filebrowser, Mardkown, images, hero-banner ... are useful in many ways, easier authoring but also rendering a page as email, PDF. You can give LLMs skills on how to use those, eg: "create amazon product layout for all my products" (requires of course extra tools for content introspection and manipulation), seems to work pretty good.

interesting, we went from classic CMS to Jekyll, then Hugo, then Astro and finally built our own CMS - for larger sets of content and sites. Fiddling with custom DSLs, templates, weird builds and tricks ... was just way too time consuming - unthinkable my wife would ever touch it or write an article in there :)

Have a look at https://service.polymech.info/user/cgo/pages/poolypress-cms, agentic CMS, translates, creates and manages articles with a few prompts, widget aware.

Hi there, we're working almost 10 years on the subject, also dealing with PreciousPlastic designs, users and problems on a daily basis. From what we can tell, its an extremely violent and fraudulent organization. None of the designs actually worked, nor any of the bold statements can be backed up with evidence. See here the full report : https://forum.osr-plastic.org/t/preciousplastic-review/11066

Its a scam after all, we know also well from others.

i am porting since months all my internal packages to npm. The full source stack should be there in a few weeks, all to Github (gbaumgart). Kind of messy thing if you worked with svn externals ;-)

Thank you, gonna let you know!

you mean the Javascript expression editor, or just the API docs? The Expression editor uses an old dump of the Mozilla docs (scraped). At that time I've been really surprised how little documentation for JS and others exists for offline usage or simple integration in an app. It got actually worse over time. However, here the link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gbaumgart/xide/master/widg... (2 MB). The API docs are done with jsDoc-3 and "ink-docstrap"

Hi, I couldn't resist any longer after 3.5 years buried in the lab to show an alpha of our new automation tool to somebody (i love this board). Please have a look at http://net-commander.com/screenshots and tell me what you think.

You can also download the alpha version for Ubuntu, Mac and Windows (it has still quit some bugs)

What's behind:

I am writing authoring software for experts since 2 decades and I wanted this time to make a tool which enables configuration tasks and automation of any networked device or service. In order to make this work like the new Excel for the new iOT and accessible to hobbiest or any person with minimal tech-skills, I followed the idea of providing a block based programming language which also can run any script in any language on the device. I hope being able to convert the block language via "pseudo" into popular languages like Javascript, C++, etc. Google's Blockly was a great inspiration for that.

Btw, another really big challenge (and very time consuming) is to write a web-based software which feels really snappy fast and works the way we know from older expert software (context menu, ribbons, main-menu, full keyboard support,...)

It is an Open-Source project and I hope somebody might like it here.

Your feedback is very welcome, greets
