Remake - a server-rendered framework for building CRUD web apps [0] This is an open-source framework I've been working on for the past year to try and solve this problem. I was tired of building the same back-end over and over again and wanted to be able to define my data all in one place. It works kind of like Vapid[1], in that it allows you to define back-end logic with front-end syntax. But it goes a step further and has more built-in web app capabilities like support for each user owning their own application, nested elements and pages, sorting elements, and inline edit areas. I just posted a Show HN[2] in another thread. I love for you to read more about it there. You can also see some code examples and a simple demo application here: https://docs.remaketheweb.com/ https://docs.remaketheweb.com/ Reach out to me with any questions. I'm always available to talk: david@remaketheweb.com [0] https://remaketheweb.com/ https://remaketheweb.com/ [1] https://www.vapid.com/ https://www.vapid.com/ [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22092480 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22092480

Interesting idea, I checked out the site. One piece of feedback, I had to go into the docs, under (A Simple Example App) to get a sense for what it was/how exactly it worked. In place of the video that is the first piece of media content on the landing page, I would have much preferred some snippet of code and a visualization of its result. That way as soon as I come to the site, I get a feel for what exactly it is. I think this would markedly improve your ability to communicate what Remake is. As the old adage goes: 'Show, don't tell.'

  This is my #1 priority. I've gotten this feedback from 4 different people now. Thank you!

  either this or a 90 second demo of building something (e.g. how you made the cards in the demo app)

    It's a little longer than 90 seconds, but you can find the full ~40 minute tutorial for that here: https://docs.remaketheweb.com/introducing-remake/ https://docs.remaketheweb.com/introducing-remake/ I agree, however, something short and sweet showing off the code and how to build something is sorely needed on the home page. I'll brainstorm about it and update the page soon.

      you could probably cover most of the todo example in 90 seconds
