Web development should be easy and fun, which is why we created an integrated frontend platform that combines the realtime collaboration of Figma with the developer experience of VSCode, the extensibility of WordPress, and the power of AI, all in one tool.
Hi from Brazil 🇧🇷! Gui here, co-founder of deco.cx.
We started deco in late '22 because:
- We were unhappy with the complexity of frontend development and how this was turning down junior developers;
- We saw how developers and content creators often struggle to collaborate because the Headless CMS becomes a silo, requiring a lot of time to integrate and evolve;
- Finally, we've witnessed client-side-first SPAs fail terribly for high-volume, content-driven websites like ecommerce storefronts.
We wanted a simpler way for web developers to build and collaborate with their marketing peers, using modern web technologies, and without having to configure so much stuff.
"No-code" is not enough, and often removes power from developers. We wanted to have one environment from code to content. We wanted to build the other side of code!
That's why we created deco.cx: for developers and marketing teams to build together, faster than ever. Developers write components and functions using Deno, JSX, TypeScript, and Tailwind. We automatically generate a beautiful, visual admin UI from the TypeScript code!
Forget the costly and complex setup of a Headless CMS, or the inflexible structure of a no-code prison. deco.cx offers a seamless solution, making webdev straightforward for teams of all sizes:
➡️ We have a web-based Code Editor with real-time visual content previews
➡️ Automatic conversion from TypeScript code to visual forms
➡️ Realtime collaboration with your team members on all sites
➡️ Decopilot, a GPT-powered AI assistant for code and content creation
➡️ A strong focus on SEO and customizable themes (using Tailwind and DaisyUI)
➡️ Git-backed, and soon compatible with any TypeScript repo
➡️ Enterprise-grade features, including full control over release cycles, role-based permissions, real-time web analytics with Plausible, and error monitoring with HyperDX.
Choose self-hosting or our comprehensive edge infrastructure at competitive prices, including CDN, hosting, analytics, and more for lower TCO in high-volume setups, simplifying your operations.
Join us in shaping a simpler open-source frontend future. With 3,000 developers in our Discord, we're building a community-driven platform. Contribute and share your insights at https://deco.cx/discord.
Your feedback is welcome; We're here to chat all day.
Let's make frontend development enjoyable again, together!

Congrats on the launch guys :)
Looking forward to trying it out for our Foodshare startup :)
Hey, this is really cool! But I am a bit concerned that if my webs go super viral, could you hold that?
Great! In addition to directly adding content, is there any interaction with the database?
Sound good! And other then that the memes in the video definitely add extra 😅 I’ll upvote immediately
Congratulations on the launch!🙌🏻
Web editor with previews and AI looks like a great tool
Revolutionize web development with our integrated platform combining Figma's collaboration, VSCode's developer experience, WordPress's extensibility, and the power of AI!
Big congratulations on the release! I just love the plataform, specially the composable and headless way of how it's designed. The stack is exceptional, and the block editing in preact is simply fantastic. Didn't try out A/B testing, but to have it integrated is amazing! I wish you guys great success and I'll certainly get together to contribuite with the project and its community!
Congratulations on the launch! and Bravo!
The platform looks super nice, reminds me a little bit of a game dev platform, very intuitive and fun to work with!
Best of luck 🤞
Congrats guys! How does deco.cx support both self-hosting and comprehensive edge infrastructure options?
Congrats! What are the main pain points that deco.cx aims to address in the field of web development?
This is beautiful, fantastic product team! And I 100% align with your problem thesis, love the direction for this. I've seen a lot of "no-code" push in the ecosystem, but quite honestly the tools are not easy to use and they take away a lot of flexibility. Congratulations Deco team!
I am a front-end developer, and started my career selling websites developed with Wordpress but I didn't like PHP that much. After that, I learned programming languages like JavaScript, and started to use frameworks like Angular, Vue, NextJS and libraries like React.
Recently I migrated my main website to the Squarespace platform, because lowcode was easier than maintaining code everyday. But I faced some problems with that: high prices monthly or annually from the seller, and not so many opportunities to insert custom code with the languages I've learned and love, and needless to say tha we don't find help of a community of developers on the internet.
That's why deco.cx became my favorite front-end as a service, because I can use TypeScript and TailwindCSS, two tech stacks I love the most and I was already so familiar with them. And the cost is incredibly cheaper compared to other players like Squarespace, and I can do a lot of more custom and complex things with it than with Squarespace or Wordpress.
I am so excited with deco.cx 2.0, because it's even faster, more integrated with the major ecommerce platforms, and the admin panel was improved to be easier and self-explained. The community in Discord is really helpful, and it's a thing that we don't find in other platforms.
Long life for all developers using deco.cx 2.0 - we all deserve a platform like this!
Apparently marketing for frontend frameworks these days involves sending people to random public Discord servers to spam advertisement messages and annoy everyone else. Completely unprofessional behaviour. I would never trust a company who feels the need to push their product like that.
