Daniel Mettler created a new project Polymorph - Code-Editions for Open-Heart Surgery

A concept to host multiple editions of your code, for example

/live contains the production code
/staging contains a temporary edition for testers
/dev contains the work in progress

This requires a structure for storing the code, switching between editions etc. We have a partial implementation in 2sxc 9.35+ for APIs and a more complete example in Mobius Forms 3.

Daniel Mettler created a new project RazorBlade

Razor is an amazing server side language and IMHO ideal for the future of asp.net. The little bit of HTML we still generate can easily become quite messy though with dynamic data-items and more. So RazorBlade should provide a library of common helpers and short hands.

Daniel Mettler created a new project Koi - Harmony Across CSS Frameworks

Koi is a solution for CMS components to dynamically adjust their output to the CSS-Framework of the current page. In other words, a component can ask the page "what CSS framework are you using?" and adjust the output.

It's .net core ready and pretty cool :)

Daniel Mettler created a new project 2sxc App System

Runs on 10-20% of all DNNs.

2sxc App Engine is a generic solution for managing data, querying it and then generating html or JavaScript based output within the shortest possible time. It can easily replace most DNN modules and provide a simple, consistent way to develop and deploy everything.
Note that it can do so many things, it's impossible to describe it all. So if you're interested, just install the demo apps and you'll understand :)

Daniel Mettler created a new project 2sxc Site Builder / Content

Turns DNN into a CMS - Runs on 10-20% of all DNNs

Content Management on DNN is fun both for the editor and web developer. The editor gets a page-builder experience (like Wix or Jimdo) an can insert pre-designed components which he can't break. You can also edit mobile (shake the device).

Daniel Mettler created a new project Mobius Forms

Mobius Forms is a flexible forms-system which provides a few fully functional HTML5 forms which save the data and send an e-mail. It's built in a way that you can easily add / remove fields using standard HTML5.
It's wired up very flexibly, so that you can easily create an alternate WebApi to save something, and wire that up too.
Mobius Forms serves as the foundation for any kind of custom form we from 2sic create. It already has various features incl. Captcha, different Razor-based mail templates for customer / admin and all the basic settings you'll usually need. By default, it has
- simple HTML5 based forms - no framework required
- you can use any JS framework you want
- Recaptcha support
- Save all to 1 text-field...
- ...or save each info an own field
- Log IP, time and more
- Send Mail to admin and different mail to customer
- Mail-templates based on Razor
- Each form can have own mail templates
- Each form can have own send-settings
- Generic Save WebAPI which can be fully customized
- Data export/import (using 2sxc)
- Data management UI (using 2sxc)

Daniel Mettler12 Differences When Templating Data Instead of Content

The template/data-paradigm is very common, where a template visualizes data provided by a query. This results in typical list/details systems like blogs, news, showcases and more. But when managing content on normal pages, this approach doesn't really work, which is why we need the template/content-paradigm.

Daniel Mettler3 Reasons why We're Moving from Grunt to Gulp

We've been working with JS-Automation for about a year now, specializing more and more on Grunt. But the more we relied on it, the more we had to go out of our way to get around problems inherent to Grunt. So we gave Gulp a chance and were very, very surprised.
