Big big day totday! Silex v3.5 is out and available for free on https://v3.silex.me ๐
This is the first version with complete Data-Driven Web Design workflow and CMS integration
This release matters to me, and I think it will matter to the freelance designers and no-code developers using Silex too. With v3.5.1, Silex finally delivers something that has been in the making for a long time: the ability to visually design websites powered by real data, coming from headless CMSs or APIs (Strapi, Supabase, hashtag#headlesshashtag#WordPress, any GraphQL API...), with a proper live preview while you work and an 11ty build behind the scene, with support for FTP or GitLab pages.
You can now: * Bind content, attributes, visibility, and styles to API data * Design pages with loops, conditions, and filters * See the result live on the canvas, not only after publishing * Publish static, fast websites (11ty) with dynamic data resolved at build time * Keep full control of your stack, your data, and your hosting * This release also closes two important long-standing goals: * True CMS / API integration for Silex * Clear releases with real changelogs, so professionals know whatโs deployed and what changed
If youโre tired of proprietary tools, pricing traps, or platforms owning your work, this release is for you.
