Silex Labs
@silexlabs.org
French non-profit promoting free software and diversity in tech since 2009. Meetups, workshops, coaching and open-source advocacy. We also build Silex, a free no-code website builder. https://www.silexlabs.org
We've been quietly rebuilding the Silex docs: new structure, English and French versions, plus short how-to videos. Not live yet, but here's a sneak peek: https://docs-66e101.gitlab.io/

Spot a typo or unclear page? Every page has an "edit this page" button, fixes welcome.

Shoutout to Aysajan Eziz (https://github.com/AysajanE) for their first contribution to Silex.

If you self-host Silex, a default value (SILEX_URL=localhost) was overriding your host URL. Now removed, with tests.

Before publishing, there's a manual pass: broken links, missing alt text, low contrast, missing page titles.

I'd like Silex to do that for you, right in the app.

Want it too? Vote here — needs 10 votes to become a priority.

Silex v3.9.0 is out

Data source panels got a cleanup: readable on light themes, always clear which state you're editing.

Also new: ::selection support to style selected text (by JE4NVRG). Thanks pupuking723 for fixes.

A clear, honest write-up of Silex: free visual editor, clean HTML/CSS, connect any headless CMS, your files stay yours. A good intro if you want to get what it actually does.
