Websites have evolved back to static HTML/CSS/JS files

I made a web app framework [0] for people like you (and me). It lets you use static HTML to build a web app.

Data attributes store data in the page and add dynamic features (like CRUD functionality and drag and drop sorting) very easily.

Plus, the whole thing is server rendered with Handlebars, so the front-end JS part isn't even required for 95% of visitors (it's only necessary if you're an admin who can edit the current page).

I wrote it because I missed the simple days of jQuery and REST APIs.

Interesting. How are you deploying the server side environment?

It's an open source Node.js app, so you can deploy yourself it to any host with a persistent file system. No 3rd party database required -- it uses a file-based architecture to make it easier to get started with and modify the data. Its goal is to be simpler and easier to work with than anything else out there.

There's also a built-in CLI that can deploy to our free hosting service, which is built on top of Digital Ocean.
