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)

More info and the roadmap for the Desktop project: 👉 https://roadmap.silex.me/posts/3/silex-desktop

If you’re interested (or know someone who could be!), feel free to reach out: 📧 alex at lexoyo.me - or on Mastodon (@lexoyo@framapiaf.org) or here on lemmy

I also just launched two Lemmy communities if you want to join the project:

Their source code: https://github.com/silexlabs

there's a lot of mention about being FOSS but they never actually prove it, which is funny to me

You say you're open source but don't link to the open source code. Nothing more
