Introducing Fiber

Over the past couple weeks, I have built a new tool called Fiber. To put it most appropriately but too vaguely, Fiber is a content engine. More concretely, Fiber makes it as easy as possible for technically-minded folks to build and update small-scale websites and web applications.

A small-scale project is something like a personal website, a landing page, or a blog. This blog, my personal page, and the Fiber homepage are all built 100% with Fiber (2023 edit: not anymore). Most of these websites have unique content but non-unique design. Like a Content Management System, Fiber abstracts design from content, making design reusable through themes. However, relative to your typical CMS, Fiber is built for developers. This allows us to make assumptions that lead to a smoother, more-lightweight development process, at the cost of accessibility. This gives Fiber a nice niche that I hope will allow it to coexist with heavier, more universally accessible platforms such as WordPress.
