deco.cx is an open-source web editor that removes all friction from building modern web apps.
It became too complex and boring to build for the web, even for experienced developers. We are making it enjoyable again, so more people and brands can freely express their creativity.
deco.cx is made for professional web developers and marketing teams who want to build bespoke digital experiences fast - from institutional landing pages to enterprise headless storefronts.
Hi from Brazil π§π·! 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:
β‘οΈ We have a web-based Code Editor with real-time visual content previews
β‘οΈ Automatic conversion from TypeScript code to visual forms
β‘οΈ Realtime collaboration with your team members on all sites
β‘οΈ Decopilot, a GPT-powered AI assistant for code and content creation
β‘οΈ A strong focus on SEO and customizable themes (using Tailwind and DaisyUI)
β‘οΈ Git-backed, and soon compatible with any TypeScript repo
β‘οΈ 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.

Watch our manifesto:
@guifromrio Hello! I love your product. I think itβs so important to make development accessible for all, also I really love the A/B testing. I canβt wait to try it out.
@jaketital Thanks! We've been preparing this launch for at least two months, and we actually postponed it from last week because both the launch video and the product weren't quite there yet. Well, I think the product still isn't π but we hope to evolve faster now by growing our open-source community! I'm specially excited for the upcoming ability to code extensions for our admin UI!
It's today? It's today! deco.cx team, congrats on your launch! I'm looking forward to trying it out. Top tier meme selection for the video too π€π€―π₯
Congratulations on the launch π
Product looks interesting.
Does it have Figma & WordPress plugins?

@viswanatha Thank you very much!
Not yet, but our open-source Deco Hub allows anyone to submit their plugins and apps for deco https://github.com/deco-cx/apps
Our next milestone is to make this work seamless
@viswanatha Thank so much for the comment! Figma integration is a great idea, and regarding to WordPress we aim to be a modern alternative to it, replacing completely.

Wow, this new kind of CMS is really great! Will there be tutorials/courses on how to go about learning everything necessary to be able to do it? Also, when will self-hosting be ready? Early 2024 is already over. π
@michacassola self-hosting in the next weeks :)
We have been updating our docs, and we are launching our bootcamp to accelerate the learning curve https://deco.camp - but it is in brazilian portuguese rn
I saw that you added me on Linkedin , I'll keep you updated :)
Report
@rafaelgcrespo Yeah, thanks for connecting on LinkedIn!
English would of course find a greater international audience.
Woah, this is huge. Could there be any more features!? Outstanding launch video with all the memes too!
If this was my preferred tech stack, I'd surely use it. Looks extremely helpful and capable. Well done!
Congrats on the launch!
@lnjaine@anthony_latona PHP is a spiritual inspiration for our product. We're trying to be as pragmatic as Wordpress and Laravel. All in one, just works, easy to get started. But for TypeScript and JSX :)

Fun and easy, I love that! What else should it be in fact?
The product features sound great,
Congratulations on the launch! π
@sandradjajic thanks! We remember the good old days when editing and HTML was simpler. We want to keep all of the good things that evolved in the meantime, but have the same feeling of simplicity when coding. We're not there yet, there's a lot to improve, but we're confident that with the global open source community, we can make our vision a reality :)
@vera_mur we have been focused on headless ecommerce storefronts at first, now we are moving more towards landing pages, blogs and institutional sites, - but we would love to see more and more fullstack web apps created with deco
