I was seeking a website builder for a friend, this one looked pretty good and after some tests it could be a successor of KompoZer
Hello KompoZer was indeed a source of inspiration! Welcome to Silex

The entire product website is made in Flash, so it takes like half a minute to load the homepage, and my scrollwheel doesn't even fricking work. Yes, this really makes me want to build a website with your tools.
It is open and free so, you can help make it better I agree with you though, and I helped the team make it full html

I've been using Silex for sometime. I agree that it's a bit slower to load the homepage. But, ONCE LOADED, it's a MAGIC!
And the 'slowness in loading' is something common in all-web-based-design-apps... So, not really a negative thing here.

(from Novice) Looks like you need a website url to save your layout First they it will have you sign into GitLab To sign up with GitLab by either gitlab.com/users/sign_up or gitlab.com/-/trialregistrations, you will need to give credit card info.
Wonderful project and it´s really free.
Far and away the best and most graphically precise website builder I have ever used.
Oh thank you so much for the support 🙏 Let's keep in touch on the forums or chat

I downloaded the latest AppImage version for Linux, launched it and... the whole window was completely white. Launched again - the same result. It was the shortest software test ever conducted.
The offline version is buguy that's true Use the online version if you can

I was looking for something that would make the placement of components much easier and largely automated. It seems that everything has to be manually placed without guides.
Hello, thank you for the feedback The latest version is now available and has fixed this with a new positioning system, closer to html
