A monorepo of reusable web components and microservice APIs for building accessible, HAX-powered authoring experiences.
HAXTheWeb is a monorepo containing a library of reusable web components and microservice APIs designed for building accessible, component-based websites and authoring experiences. It provides both the UI building blocks and a lightweight CMS (HAX) that uses JSON Outline Schema to enable rapid, static site creation. The project solves the problem of creating consistent, portable UI elements that work across different frameworks and platforms.
Web developers and teams building design systems, static websites, or content authoring tools who need reusable, framework-agnostic components and a simple CMS backend.
Developers choose HAXTheWeb for its combination of small, portable web components and an integrated authoring system (HAX), which together simplify building and maintaining static sites. Its focus on developer experience with Dev Containers and a custom Component Gallery makes contribution and component discovery straightforward.
Monorepo of webcomponents and associated microservice apis
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Components are built with Vanilla JS or Lit, ensuring compatibility across any web environment without locking into a specific framework, as highlighted in the README's emphasis on broad compatibility.
HAX provides a lightweight CMS using JSON Outline Schema for rapid static site creation, reducing backend complexity by writing directly to the file system.
Dev Container support offers pre-configured environments for consistent contributions, and the custom Component Gallery replaces Storybook with live demos and CodePen export.
Uses Lerna for streamlined build and test processes across multiple packages, improving efficiency for teams managing numerous web components.
Manual installation requires numerous global yarn packages and specific tools like symlink-dir, which can be time-consuming and error-prone compared to simpler setups.
Requires Git Bash, WSL, or enabling Developer Mode for symlinks, adding extra steps and potential instability for Windows contributors.
As a custom solution, it lacks the extensive plugin and community support of more established CMS or component libraries, which may limit scalability.
