CNoMS
=====
Content No-Management System. Works like....
Why?
----
Designers design websites. And nowadays, they also code websites in HTML and CSS. What designers don't want to do is
* Learn complex templating languages
* Set up some obese content-management system
* Configure and maintain a server
* Require clients to learn some obese content-management system
* Make static websites for clients and need to change it twice a week because for said client.
* Use a FTP and configure server addresses to upload their work.
This is where CNoMS (see no mess... get it...?) comes in. The idea is simple:
1. Design and code your pages in standard HTML.
2. Identify editable content by placing simple attributes into your tags, e.g. `
Dan's Deli
`
3. Drag your project folder (let's say it's called "dansdeli") into the CNoMS app and click "Publish"
4. Your site will be published to [dansdeli.cnoms.com](http://dansdeli.cnoms.com) where everybody can see it
5. Your client can go to [dansdeli.cnoms.com/edit](http://dansdeli.cnoms.com/edit) where he will see the same page - except he can change your editable elements right on the page! Every edtiable element also has a undo-history and you can drag a slider to go through previous versions.
### Other features:
* Reusable elements. Every element with the same name in `data-fieldname` will have the same content across your site.
* Automatic micro-templates. Set up a blog like this:
```html
-
A blog post
Just lorem ipsum it.
```
And CNoMS will analyze the structure, turn everything from `
* Local preview - CNoMS also has a "run locally" mode, where you can test your design and make changes.
Current state
-------------
CNoMS already works as advertised, but there is no GUI yet - you'll have to run it from command line. Also, there's no cnoms.com yet - you can only run it locally. If you think that this is a cool project let me know and we can make this reality.
