Introduction
What Stacki is, what it edits, and what it deliberately leaves alone.
Stacki is a desktop visual builder for Astro. It opens a
project on your machine, runs that project’s own astro dev server, and shows
you the page while you edit it.
What it edits
- Pages in
src/pages, including nested routes and dynamic routes. - Layouts in
src/layouts, and which one wraps each page. - Components in
src/components, their props, and their slots. - Styles — your stylesheets and your components’
<style>blocks. - Content collections — entries, fields and schemas.
- CSS variables declared anywhere in your stylesheets.
- Assets in
public/andsrc/.
What it does not do
Stacki has no cloud, no account, and no project format of its own. There is nothing to import and nothing to export: the files it opens are the files you already commit, and the files it saves are the ones your build reads.
Markup it cannot model visually is never rewritten — the page opens in a code editor instead, still with a live preview beside it.
Stacki is MIT licensed. The source is on GitHub, and builds for macOS and Windows are published from CI.
