About the project

A tiny editor with an outsized sense of craft.

Webby was born from a simple idea: the people who own a site should be able to edit it without fighting a CMS. It drops into any static HTML file, activates an elegant in-browser toolbar, and serializes every change back to your local folder — then pushes cleanly to GitHub Pages. No servers, no lock-in, and every line of code is yours to read.

What makers are saying

Words from the early flock.

Placeholder: Webby let me rebuild my clinic site in an afternoon. I click a paragraph, I type, it saves. It feels like writing in a notebook, but the notebook is my website.

Placeholder: I keep waiting for the catch. There isn't one — it really is just HTML, edited inline, pushed straight to GitHub. The AI section generator felt a little uncanny the first time.

Features & editing

Everything feels direct, because it is.

Click text to edit it. Click an image to swap it. Hover a section to reformat, delete, or generate a new one with AI. Your page is the database — the HTML you see is exactly what gets pushed live.

Inline text & links

Select any text for a floating toolbar with bold, italic, code, and a smart link editor that jumps between pages and anchors.

Instant image swap

Click any image to pick a new one. Webby saves it to your local assets/ folder and syncs it to GitHub on publish.

AI section generator

Hover between sections, click + Add Section, describe what you want. A themed section appears, ready to refine.

Reformat & undo

Turn a plain list into a card grid, a testimonial into a quote banner. Ctrl+Z walks back every structural change.

Multi-page, synced nav

Add a page, rename a link, reshape the nav — every other page picks up the change automatically on save.

One-click publish

Webby strips the editor code and your credentials, then pushes the clean HTML to GitHub Pages in seconds.

Ready in five minutes

Your site, on GitHub Pages, this afternoon.

Generate the HTML, add a secrets.js file, open the page in Chrome, click Publish. That's the whole pipeline.
