SmithableSoft to change. Hard as steel.

Build a site for your collection, public to browse

Keep a collection of books, plants or wine with pictures, on a public site visitors browse. The smallest starter; change it by prompt, form or code.

The A collection starter

Built as it is, this description makes the A collection starter at once, with no AI. Change it first and the app follows your words.

The A collection starter

What it is

  • A place to keep and show a collection of items.
  • Open to anyone without signing in: the home page, the items page and reading items.
  • Everyone sees, changes and deletes only their own records.

One change. Three ways.
The app follows.

Say it, fill in a form, or write the line: it is the same change, and the app has it at once.

The app's /items/new page before the changeThe app's /items/new page after the change: the new-item form gains a Tag field

“Items need a tag”: the form gains the field, whichever way made it.

How it works

  1. Describe it, or write the fileYour words become the app's spec: its records, pages and who may do what, in a short file you can read and edit (smithable.yml).
  2. The app follows the fileChange the description or the file and Smithable rebuilds the app, checks it and keeps its data. Every change can be undone.
  3. The code is yoursA real TypeScript web app: download it, run it anywhere, or hand it to a client. The engine is open source.
