About Shellui

An open-source web app development platform from Zurich.

Shellui started after rebuilding the same authentication flows, admin panels, and host chrome across several products. Too much time went into problems the last project had already solved.

The shell extracts those shared parts: navigation, identity, administration, and storage. You keep the application in the iframe. There is no extra abstraction layer beyond what the host already ships.

The project is open source so other developers facing the same work can use it, fork it, and improve it.

Who maintains this

Shellui started as a one-person project and remains largely driven by a single maintainer. Contributions of code, documentation, or feedback are welcome. How to contribute.
