Build full-stack web apps with only HTML and CSS
Remake is an open-source framework for creating editable web apps with just a few custom HTML attributes.
🤔 Why Remake?
"Remake gives me an entirely new feeling of comfort around coding. It's what I imagine web development should be." — Arav Narula
Remake does what most frameworks do in 100 lines of code in 1 line of HTML.

👩🎨 Let people use something you designed — right away.
Remake is:
🏭 Full-stack apps with just front-end code
Remake takes care of the rest: user accounts, persistent data, instant deployments, and routing. Each user gets their own account and data.
🛩 Real apps — not just prototypes
Remake feels like prototyping because it was designed to. The goal was to make web development feel like using a single template and a single JSON file.
🎨 100% control of your design
Remake is open source. You own the code. There's no platform lock-in and you have 100% control over your app's design.
🌍 Secure, scalable, and fast
Highly secure authentication. And server-rendered, so your pages load quickly even on low-power devices and slow connections.
👩🏫 Get started
1. Install Node.js (12.16+)
2. Create a project using the Remake CLI
npx remake create my-app
3. Run the project
cd my-app
npm run dev
You now have an app running at http://localhost:3000. Your app's code is in the /app directory and your database is in the /app/data directory.
👨🏭 What can you build?
Remake is perfect for building page builders, where each of your users can edit their own content.

🚀 Remake’s Mission
A few companies own the platforms the rest of us publish on — but owning our own platform is usually out of the question. Remake lets you build your own platform with very little effort — using just HTML & CSS.
