Lancer

Lancer is a radically simple tool for building content-focused websites. It helps you:

• Start a working new project with zero configuration
• Provide your non-techical clients & colleagues an easy-to-use UI for editing content and uploading files
• Serve dynamically resized images
• Produce an extremely low-touch, maintainable codebase.
• And much, much more

Getting Started

To start a project from scratch:

$ mkdir my-proj && cd my-proj
$ npm init -y
$ npm install @lancer/studio
$ npx lancer init all
$ npm run dev

Now visit http://localhost:7272.
