What is Dropbits?
Dropbits is an LLM-assisted, tool-driven CMS. You edit the live site in the browser; the Assistant and the editor share one Toolbox of tools. Site truth lives in SQLite (site.db); the server renders HTML; chrome JS turns on Edit, Layout, and structure dialogs.
How it works (plain language)
- Log in on your site (
/login). - Open the Admin button → turn on Edit (or Layout) on the page you are viewing.
- Change text and images in place, or ask LLM chat to apply the same tools a human would.
- Use Nav, Pages, and Site for structure; Checkpoint / backup before risky batches.
There is no separate AdminHub app and no draft/publish vocabulary for everyday edits — you edit where visitors already see the page (visibility grants still control who can view a page).
What you do not need
- No programming language for everyday edits.
- No parallel “admin database API” — writes go through Toolbox tools (CMS, CLI, or LLM).
- No config evaluator or catalog-packages hub — packs install and enable from Admin → Site.
