SiteKrs
Edit and Launch Static Websites in 60 Minutes
Hey IndieHackers,
I'm the creator of SiteKrs, a lightweight tool that turns any HTML/JS template into a visually editable website.
What makes this project special? I have absolutely zero coding background. Every single line of code in this product was written through AI "vibecoding". I want to share my 5-month journey, the pain points this product solves, and how AI is changing the game for non-technical founders.
The Pain Point
As a small business owner or a technical novice, getting a fast, good-looking website up usually leads to two frustrating paths:
The Subscription Trap: Using bloated website builders (Wix, Webflow, Shopify) where you are locked into ongoing monthly subscriptions forever. Plus, you don't even own your source code.
The Code Barrier: You buy a beautiful, cheap HTML template online, but quickly realize you have no idea how to edit the code. Want to change an image or modify some text? Good luck parsing through hundreds of lines of div tags.
People just want something simple, fast, and cheap. They want to edit the text and images themselves, launch it quickly, and host it for free.
The Solution: SiteKrs
SiteKrs bridges this gap. It's an online tool that converts most standard HTML/JS templates into visually editable sites.
Here is what it brings to the table:
True Visual Editing: You click on text, images, or SVGs on the page, and you edit them directly. Variables are auto-injected and types are inferred automatically.
Multi-page Sync: Edit an element on the home page, and it syncs across other pages.
Export & Deploy: When you are done editing, you can export the clean source code or deploy it directly to GitHub Pages with one click (for free hosting).
Fair Pricing: Just $20 per template. Zero monthly subscriptions, no hidden fees. Your site, your code, forever.
The Journey: 5 Months of "Vibecoding"
If you think AI coding is just "generating a SaaS in 5 minutes with a single prompt", you are sorely mistaken. Building a complex web application requires serious time, patience, and architectural thinking—even if the AI writes the syntax.
I started the MVP on October 2025. It took me nearly 5 months of continuous daily effort to reach where we are today (March 2026). Here is a glimpse of what it took to vibecode this beast:
October 2025 - The Foundation: Got the MVP working with basic HTML parsing and export. Handled complex iframe interaction conflicts.
November 2025 - The Engine: Built multi-page real-time sync. Migrated the preview data to an IndexedDB storage engine to handle high-capacity templates. Expanded the AI's logic to automatically recognize SVGs, font icons, and forms.
December 2025 - The Polish: Integrated Formspree for automatic form parameter setup. Launched a massive multi-language i18n system supporting 10 languages, and integrated NowPayments for crypto processing.
Jan-Feb 2026 - The Big Refactor: This was the hardest part. I had to instruct the AI to re-architect the entire preview solution, shifting to a Service Worker interception strategy. It took dozens of brutal iterations to get right, but it made previewing complex templates with extreme style/script dependencies blazingly fast and stable.
March 2026 - Launch Ready: Finalized SEO system optimizations and strict TypeScript type-safety constraints to ensure the core logic is bulletproof.
Lessons Learned from AI Vibecoding
You are the PM and QA: AI acts as your tireless senior developer, but you are the product manager and QA tester. You must test relentlessly because the AI will occasionally break things.
Architecture Matters: You have to understand the high-level logic. Migrating to a Service Worker architecture (Feb 2026) wasn't a magic prompt; it was a series of architectural decisions I had to guide the AI through.
Keep it Simple: SiteKrs is deliberately lightweight. For technical novices and small business owners, simple and reliable is infinitely better than complex and feature-heavy.
AI vibecoding is the great equalizer. It allowed a completely non-technical founder like me to build a product that genuinely helps folks launch beautiful, fast, static websites in 60 minutes without being held hostage by subscriptions.
