Pakyow

Pakyow is an MVC framework, where the V (view) comes first.

This means the frontend of Pakyow apps is much easier to build, customize and maintain compared to regular MVC apps, approach that has made Pakyow much more designer-friendly compared to other similar tools like Rails.

This is achieved by having no logic code in the Views, meaning the frontend templates simply hold the code responsible for the actual displayed data.

This way the templates are easy to read and designers don't have to read, detect, and jump over hundreds of lines of of logic code just to edit the position of a button.

An indirect result of this approach is also an increase in performance, and cleaner and smaller templates.
