Create complex, reactive, persistent web applications by just writing HTML & CSS, without a single line of JavaScript and no server backend. Developed in the Haystack Group at MIT CSAIL and led by Lea Verou. Mavo extends the syntax of HTML to describe Web applications that manage, store, and transform data. Store data in the cloud, locally, or not at all by just changing an HTML attribute. Edit data right on the website, with an intuitive, auto-generated, customizable interface. No more wrestling with CMSes and servers! Multimedia uploads to your page via drag & drop, pasting, or browsing, without a single line of code. Perform calculations right in the HTML, that update when needed. No need to write JavaScript! Mavo uses familiar HTML-based syntax and can be used even by people with no programming experience. This is not wishful thinking; it’s published, peer-reviewed research.
Features
- Mavo’s core functionality can be learned in a few minutes, and is enough to create a vast variety of applications that manage, store, and transform small-scale data
- Design your application with the same design freedom and tools as a static webpage. Mavo works with your markup, not against it
- Mavo has been designed for extensibility from the ground up. Plugins can modify almost every aspect of its behavior and add new powerful functionality
- Mavo apps are keyboard accessible and screen reader friendly out of the box
- We created Mavo because we thought that creating Web applications should be easier than it is today
- Store data in the cloud, locally, or not at all by just changing an HTML attribute
