A solo developer launches Ekit Studio, a project-based content and templating tool designed to solve common pain points in web development workflows, particularly around multilingual content and template management.
I'm building a project-based content & templating tool — looking for beta testers
The Problem That Sparked Ekit Studio
After years of rebuilding similar backoffice stacks across different web projects, I kept running into the same frustrating patterns:
- Structured content becoming chaotic when multilingual support was added
- Fragile template pipelines that broke with minor changes
- Excessive glue code between data sources, APIs, and rendering systems
These weren't isolated incidents—they were recurring challenges that slowed down development and introduced unnecessary complexity.
What Ekit Studio Actually Does
Ekit Studio takes a different approach by standardizing a single internal architecture and making it available as a standalone tool. The current beta offers:
- Project-based structured data with tables, records, and fields
- Multilingual content as a first-class feature (not an afterthought)
- Server-side rendering with customizable templates
- Public API per project for programmatic access
This isn't just another CMS—it's a developer-focused tool that addresses the specific pain points that arise when building content-driven applications.
Why This Matters for Developers
The traditional approach to content management often leads to architectural debt. You start with a simple solution, but as requirements grow (especially around internationalization), the complexity compounds. Ekit Studio aims to prevent this by:
- Designing for multilingual from day one rather than retrofitting it
- Providing a consistent data model that works across projects
- Reducing the amount of custom integration code needed
- Offering both UI and API access for different use cases
The Beta Opportunity
I'm looking for developers and makers who are willing to:
- Test Ekit Studio on real or side projects
- Provide honest feedback on onboarding and usability
- Identify what feels unclear, overkill, or missing
In return, beta testers get:
- Free access to the tool during the beta period
- Direct feedback loop with the creator
- Real influence on the product roadmap
This is a chance to shape a tool that could solve problems you've likely encountered in your own projects.
Technical Considerations
While the core architecture is solid, this is still an early beta. The focus now is on refining the user experience and workflows. If you're technically minded and want more details about the implementation, I'm happy to discuss the technical approach in the comments.
Getting Involved
If you're interested in trying Ekit Studio, you can sign up for the beta at https://ekit.app. Whether you have questions, feedback, or want to dive into technical specifics, I'm available to discuss in the comments.
This is a solo developer project, which means your feedback will have a direct impact on the tool's development. If you've ever wished for a better way to handle structured content and templates in your projects, this could be worth exploring.
