Enterprise-level, cross-platform CMS for building websites, developed using C# and ASP.NET Core.
I am the sole developer of this software, have been building prototypes for 10
years now and have finally decided to start from scratch using ASP.NET Core. I've built a lot of the core functionality so far. There is still a few months of work that I must do before I can start using Websilk to host websites with, so I was hoping to find some contributors who are passionate and have a desire to create something great.
Everything about this project is custom built. I don't use any bloated 3rd-party libraries or frameworks, such as bootstrap, angular, knockout, or jquery. Page load time is under 10 ms, page weight (gzipped) comes in under 100kb, and everything is built for responsive web design.
I'm in the process of upgrading to ASP.NET Core 2.0 and getting Websilk to run on Linux with SQL Server 2017, and eventually it will be able to run on Azure & Docker with ease.
There is a drag & drop interface for visually building web pages. The development process is dead-simple, and it's just an overall fun project to work on. Websilk is the culmination of all the most advanced skills I've learned as a .NET web developer.
also, this project depends on two other github projects I've developed from scratch
Selector.js
http://www.github.com/websilk/selector
Is a micro-js library (4.5kb) that can replace jQuery seemlessly
Tapestry
http://www.github.com/websilk/tapestry
is a CSS framework like Twitter Bootstrap, but much more flexible, easy-to-read class naming structure, and also includes a color scheme system & dashboard UI classes. Built using LESS.
