I think this might be the easiest way to translate website content. What do you think? 😊

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 23/09/2026

Been doing a lot of content editing on Editable sites over the past few days. At this point, I’m pressing Cmd + E from muscle memory on other websites I visit, hoping they’ll become fully editable. 😄

May be soon time for another attempt to bring syntax highlighted codeblocks to editable.website.

Memory prices are going up. An Editable website runs perfectly on just 256MB RAM. And @fly.io waives invoices under $5, so you can essentially host your Editable website for free. editable.website/can-i-really...

Can I really skip the CMS?

I'm actually happy that computer use works, because that strengthens the position for Editable to be AI-agnostic. Like the tool itself doesn't depend on AI in any way, which I very much care about. Now I can point to a solution for people who want a robot fix their typos.

I do respect the strict No LLM projects such as Zig/Wordgard/... they have very valid reasons in their collab setup. I have my reasons not to be 100% strict, and still apply the same care and human intention as before LLM.

Been reluctant for a very long time, but had to admit there were certain situations where it can really help. E.g. discovered a performance bottleneck in Svedit. Helped with some repetitive tasks I wouldn't have taken on myself. I do carefully review / often retype the code.

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 21/09/2026

Editable has a minimalist single-user architecture, so adding an MCP would require some sort of multi-user realtime collab functionality. With computer use there's still just one user clicking/changing things, so nothing to complicate. :)

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 21/09/2026

Just tried Codex Computer Use to make edits on an editable.website and it works surprisingly well. I told it to "enable edit mode and go find grammar and spelling mistakes on the current page. Highlight first error and suggest what you'd like to change."

Good to know! @jyc.dev and I are already on it, doing experiments with Svedit/Editable on airspace (:

Editable 2.0 Preview 8 is out! — Carousel layout for galleries — Decent tooltips that bring the keyboard shortcuts to attention — Platform-dependent display of keyboard shortcuts — Pretty 404 page — And lots of smaller fixes and improvements...

Shout-out to a growing group of svedit.dev users! Hope you’re having a smooth sailing. And if you happen to hit rough seas and need a compass, hit me up!

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 16/09/2026

Have tried hard but wasn't able to reproduce this behavior in isolation yet. But maybe someone has seen something like this already and have a clue what's causing it? 🙏

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 16/09/2026

Selection rectangle is CSS anchor-positioned. Focal point (crosshair) is relative positioned inside it. Scrolling the wrapping container moves the rectangle correctly but the focal point is doing silly things. Scratching my head... Safari anchor positioning bug?

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 15/09/2026

Good to know! Really need to dig deeper into atproto — hope I get to it soon.

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 15/09/2026

With Svedit you manipulate a POJO in-memory (see debug output at the bottom of the svedit.dev demo). Wonder how much of a hassle it is to convert that format from and to atproto lexica used for storage. Maybe something like Svedit could work on atproto schema/lexica directly, avoiding conversion

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 15/09/2026

I'm a fan of dynamic! No cache needed and less moving pieces. :) Wondering how an SSR route that live-fetches from a PDS compares to SvelteKit/Nuxt via Node + SQlite performance-wise?

110

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 15/09/2026

Editable might not be an ideal match for that (various reasons), but there could be something similar like it built on svedit and dedicated to atproto as a backend. @danielroe.dev Would an airspace-powered website serve data dynamically from the PDS directly? Or each change triggers a static build?

110

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 15/09/2026

Very interesting! I think svedit could be used to drive editable airspaces. While Editable is meant to drive classic design-oriented websites (thus fully self-contained with SQLite+assets), airspaces could involve community aspects (atproto).

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 11/09/2026

Hmm, I guess the safest advice for now would be to put them into any web-accessible space, and and just link from the page. But legit need to package up some other files with your website. Will think about it!

010

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 11/09/2026

Ha good question! You could absolutely move some files (like a .pdf) into the assets folder using scp and then just link them. Just need to check that asset purging only touches unreferenced images/videos, and keeps everything else.

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 11/09/2026

Do it manually and add a "[written by myself]" in front of any issue and get it prioritized. :)

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 11/09/2026

Great to hear! To sync content changes from your local computer to the published site, you still have to push the whole DB (it's just metadata) with `pnpm data:push`. Just be careful that you don't make remote changes meanwhile. Also see: editable.website/manual#backu...

Whoohoo! 🥳 Hope it went all smooth?

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. Soon! :)

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.

130

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 03/09/2026

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.

But it is for managing complete sites. Here‘s how you create a new page for instance… If you want to build something else (like an app), we‘ve also released the foundational editing library. It‘s free and open source. See: svedit.dev

The fall of Svelte is coming. 🍂 I mean the season. See you at sveltesummit.com! :)

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 01/09/2026

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: github.com/michael/edit...

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 31/08/2026

Oh and Svelte being HTML-first makes actually accessible for people outside the JavaScript frameworks world. If you know HTML and CSS, you are ready to shape the pixels of your Editable website. 😁

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 31/08/2026

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

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 31/08/2026

Sure thing. Thank you for the feedback and making me aware. I wonder how I can make this more clear from the wording. In my perception a schema and editable Svelte components make an editable page. And multiple such pages make an editable website. Hence the name. :)

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 31/08/2026

Here's an example of a component that includes text and media properties: github.com/michael/edit...

010

Michael Aufreiter @michaelaufreiter.com · 31/08/2026

The way this works is that you define a content model (JSON) and for each type you implement a Svelte component. The HTML/accessibility is defined there. This component however is not only used for rendering, but also for editing in-place. So you don't write the website inline, only its content. :)
