# Simpla

Modular content system built on Web Components that edits page content inline and keeps it in a GitHub repository.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Simpla is a modular content system for frontend developers, built on Web Components. Content is edited inline on the page, and sign-in goes through an OAuth adapter. The content is kept in a GitHub repository, and the page data is pushed as JSON to a static CDN. The library is installed with npm or loaded from unpkg, and the components are added with Bower. The copyright line in its license names Sean King and Bede Overend.

## Worth knowing

The homepage and the docs domain both answer with a parked page that says the domain may be for sale, so the project's own site no longer shows the software. The README and the npm package still describe and publish it.
