  • That’s a great question, here’s how I see it:

    • Silex = websites and web design — strong focus on responsive layouts, CSS concepts, box model, etc. No workflows or app logic
    • Bring your own CMS/DB — pure frontend; users design and bind to real data (read-only)
    • Web standards first — HTML/CSS; what you learn is portable. If you know a standard, you can probably apply it directly in Silex
    • Fully open source, FOSS, AGPL, not open core like Appsmith/Budibase

    It’s not necessarily easier — the complexity just lives elsewhere :)
