Show HN: Easily empower others to update content on your static website

1 points by freshlog ↗ HN
Hello Hacker News,

Previously I demoed my app, Liberate, that helps you empower others to update your existing static website without porting the whole site to a CMS or a blogging engine, using HTML and Javascript:

You pointed out 2 weaknesses:

1. Content cannot be indexed by search engines

2. Content will be unavailable as soon as the server goes down

Now, I came up with a PHP-embed solution that saves the content to a local SQLite flat file database that addresses them both.

Check out the screencast at:

If you're thinking that the site looks like Rails scaffolding, you're right, it was built in Rails but I think using PHP here makes sense because most web servers that host existing static websites already do support PHP.

Would love to hear what you think of this.
