Frameworks you can own.
Free, flat-file, no database. Clone them, brand them, and run them as your own.
These are the tools we use, not demos or prototypes.
These frameworks came out of internal work we needed done and decided to share.
There is nothing to provision and nothing to migrate. Fork a repo and add your own styles. You can pull updates from upstream anytime without losing your customizations.
Three tools, zero databases.
