About

What is Cute Magick?

Cute Magick offers a simple yet powerful open-source web hosting solution designed for developers and creative coders. It provides an interactive workspace where users can build, preview, and publish websites using various languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, Lua, and Node.js. A key differentiator is its "Time Machine" feature, which saves every file change as a snapshot, allowing users to rewind to any previous version, preview past states, and restore earlier configurations. The platform emphasizes ownership and portability, with sites stored as plain files and standard Git history, enabling easy export and self-hosting options. It caters to those who want to build real, server-powered websites without the complexities of traditional infrastructure.

Best used for

Ideal for developers and creative coders who need to quickly build and deploy server-powered websites, manage code versions with a built-in 'Time Machine', and maintain full control over their data.
