I snapped after another WordPress update—so I built BlogposterCMS (modular, event-driven, open source)

One day I just snapped after yet another forced WordPress update. Shopify’s endless paywalls didn’t help either. So I built something simpler—BlogposterCMS.

It’s an open-source, self-hosted CMS built entirely with Node.js. No REST, just pure event-driven architecture. Every feature is modular, sandboxed, secured via JWT, with built-in granular permissions. No bloated UI, no paywalls.

Here's the real idea:
I don’t wanna monetize basic features. Let’s build good stuff, monetize fairly through premium themes or hosting, and give back extra earnings directly to contributors. Because open-source should reward those who actually build it.

If WordPress or Shopify ever annoyed you, take a look:

Feedback welcome, and if you wanna help out or just play around, even better!
