At Paranoid Software we create our web applications and portals using this humble tool built on top of Flask and Mongo Database. Our motivation as developers has always been centered on productivity and comfort while we interpret and create our clients vision.
With elemental you can work on your preferred IDE (Integrated Development Environtment) taking advantage of all your favorite features while you work with your portal pages, modules, and dependencies directly from within the same environment. The following image for example, shows this page being designed using PyCharm with all the features it has to offer as a well-known developer tool.
Browse pages, snippets, scripts, style sheets, images etc. using the file explorer of your favorite tool.
No more content in unknown, hidden or inaccesible locations, while you design and develop your applications.
Design your pages the way is normally intended, with plain and clear HTML / CSS side by side without having to navigate through slow CMS admins "modules", and on online environments that are not always available.
Write your styles right next to your HTML code, and decide right away what styles to apply to every page section or element while you design and debug your application.
No more pre-established and limited "styles" or arbitrarily included frameworks. Use any CSS libarary or use your favorite tool for styles coding and create your own style sheets from scratch as you would normally do it while develop web applications.
Work offline on the comfort of your local PC/Mac environment, and deploy your changes using a simple but fast and effective CLI.
