👋 hello, internet
We're phookit.
We make small web tools that are fun to use.
This is the front door. Behind it live a drag-and-drop website editor, a tech blog with far too many opinions about C++, and a gallery where people post pictures of their code (and their cats).

Sub-domains & sister sites
Each one is its own little world, built on the same open framework.
The WYSIWYG editor
Drag sections onto a canvas, pick your colours, flick on cookie consent and GDPR bits, then download a ready-to-commit website. For admins and members with editor access; every member can try it free for 7 days.
About the editor & free demo → phookit.comThe tech blog
Posts about C++ (tips, history, examples), CMake project set-up and plain-English explanations of AI. Comment, react, and show off your own gallery.
Read the blog →Labs coming soon
Half-finished experiments, browser toys and things that seemed like a good idea at 2am. Currently a very nice 404 page.
Not yet…API planned
The REST API that the editor and the blog will share: sites, pages, galleries, comments and reactions. Same login everywhere.
Watch this spaceUnder the bonnet
One framework, lots of faces
Every phookit site runs on the same little Django-based framework. It handles the boring-but-important bits so each site can concentrate on being itself:
- 🍪 Cookie consent & GDPR-friendly policies out of the box
- 🔐 Registration with email verification and CAPTCHAs that rotate
- 📝 Blogs with versioned posts and a proper editor
- 🖼️ Galleries with votes, comments and reactions
- ☁️ One command to install (or uninstall) a site on a server
$ phookit install ./phookit.co.uk
==> directories
==> static_build built 8 pages
==> nginx vhost enabled
==> letsencrypt certificate issued
install complete: phookit.co.uk 🎉
