JAMstack Apps - Open-Source and built with Automation Tools

Hello Coders,

In this article, I will present a curated list with open-source JAMStack apps built using automation tools on top of some well-known designs provided by HTML5Up and Creative-Tim agencies.

Thanks for reading! - Content provided by App Generator.


The automation process executes in a loop a few steps, listed below:

  • The flat HTML design is parsed and normalized to be compatible with an existing JAMstack boilerplate (this phase is detailed in a separate article - HTML Parser )
  • inject the processed design into the JAMstack boilerplate, already equipped with scrips and builders (gulp, sass processing .. etc)
  • start the app and repeat the previous steps in a loop if something is wrong (wrong paths, missing images)

Using this simple workflow, I'm able to skip over the manual work when I start a new project using a new design requested by the customer.


Why JAMstack

After using for years Php and Python frameworks, I decided to switch on JAMstack pattern for simple apps and one-page websites based on facts:

  • most of the times, I don't need a database
  • speed matters
  • any design can be easily integrated into a JAMstack boilerplate code
  • the deployment is automatized
  • the apps are 100% secure because is generated in plain HTML
