I have a small question for all of you. Besides the SEO tool, I’ve been working on another project and I’m looking to get an idea of interest.
If I were to release my drop-in flat-file cms (so no database required, just runs based on php and javascript) that allows any html website to be edited textually, would you be interested?
Current development title is ‘PageEdit’ but that is still likely to change:
There is both a visual editor as a code editor view, but using the user permissions, access to the code editor can be restricted for specific users. The same goes for access to specific pages. All can be set on a user account level.
This cms can edit these elements:
p
h1
h2
h3
h4
h5
h6
li
a
No other elements are editable, nor is the cms intended for it. This allows my end users to edit the text on the pages I design, but doesn’t allow them to execute layout breaking changes.
Still have to finish these features:
SEO (meta, alt) editing
Installing the cms is as simple as dropping a few folders and 1 php file in the root-directory of your website (via ftp, ssh or your hosts file manager) and then surfing to your site/editor.php to install the cms (visually guided of course).
So in the end, I am wondering, would you be interested in using this for your own customers/users ?
No, as Volt is far more capable (blog functionality, adding & removing pictures, …).
This is purely a solution for my end users who want to update text and links on their sites, but whom I do not want to give the power to (accidentally) change or remove too much.
I think @Jannis did an amazing job with Volt and I do not have any ambition to compete with VoltCMS. I think both systems serve different niches and can co-exist.
Good idea and really interesting, I’ve been working on the same topic for quite some time.

A Custom Bric that makes various elements editable. You assign a class and you can edit it live.
The idea came about so that corrections could be made quickly and live. A click in a corner of the window activates and save the data.
However, I’m not yet satisfied with my choice of the JavaScript WYSIWYG editor and I have to sit down and improve it again
