## What it is
Editable is a Svelte-based website starter that lets editors change content directly on the live page, eliminating the need for a separate CMS. Content lives in SQLite while components, layouts, and styling remain in a git repository you own.

## Use cases
- build a website editable directly on the page without a CMS
- let non-technical editors update site content in place
- self-host a small business or portfolio site with inline editing
- own all site code and content model in a git repo
- quickly deploy a customizable site from a template
- publish markdown docs pages from the repo

## When to choose
- you want in-page editing without wiring up a headless CMS
- you want full ownership of the codebase, styling, and content model
- you prefer a Svelte/TypeScript stack with SQLite storage
- you want git-based backups and simple upgrades via upstream merges

## When to avoid
- you need a multi-site or multi-tenant CMS platform
- your team requires a mature, long-established CMS with a large plugin ecosystem
- you need a non-Svelte framework like React or Vue
- you need headless content delivery to multiple clients via an API

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, templating, file-upload, markdown, self-hosted
- domain: web-development, cms, frontend, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: in-place-editing, richtext-editor, svelte, sqlite, git-based, no-cms, website-builder, nodejs, web-server
