Sunday afternoon read for people building websites.
That first editable.website blog post is taking a little longer than expected. But I’m putting a lot of thought and reflection into it, and I think it will answer many of your questions.

This is how you create a blog post on an Editable website.
There's no concept of collections or posts. Everything is a page, and you can link them up. And get creative with how you do that.

Overwhelmingly positive reactions to editable.website.
With concerns:
— Can I really skip the CMS?
— Is it battle-tested?
— Does it support collections (posts)?
— Multi-lang?
Planning a series of blog posts, that should help you decide, if Editable's right for you (yet).

Editable — the website you can edit on the page
Editable lets you build and edit a Svelte website without adding a separate CMS. Editors work directly on the page, while the content model, components, layouts, and styling is defined in code.

Oh wow! 493 git clones of michael/editable only yesterday alone.
Can't wait to see what you'll build with it!
Know HTML + CSS? You're good to get started.
Worked with Svelte already? Even better!
If you have questions, please post them on the forum:

Editable wouldn't have been possible without @svelte.dev.
Thank you @rich-harris.dev, @paolo.ricciuti.me @dummdidumm.bsky.social, and crew for the best framework to power CMS-free websites you can edit on the page:
- Tiny editing runtime overhead (thx compiler!)
- Surgical DOM updates as you type

For those curious: editable.website runs on a tiny Fly.io machine with 256MB RAM. Content is stored SQLite. Assets are just files on the volume. It's fully self-contained in a `data` folder.
I did set a Cloudflare caching rule for /assets/* so all the images and video clips are served from a CDN.

Had goosebumps when I left the stage at @sveltesociety.dev Summit Ljubljana after officially announcing Editable after 3+ years mostly working in isolation.
Then I woke up.
One can dream... 😛
No matter who’s on stage in November, I’m really, really looking forward to meeting you all!

Been thinking about the "What about AI?" story of Editable.
I have an opinion:
Use AI to help write the code (content types, layouts)
Don't use AI to write the content.
I may deliberately not add an MCP, so editable.website sites are positioned as human-written.
Wdyt?

I don’t like making new things that much. I’d rather make the same thing. But this time, better.

Working on a simple migration API for editable.website.
Because docs are stored as JSON-serialized subgraphs, you want a way to easily manipulate that data.
