CondationCMS manager application

CondationCMS – The New Manager

After five months of hard work, I'm proud to present the new Manager Application, coming in the next major update of CondationCMS.

But first, let me explain why I initially said CondationCMS doesn’t need a manager at all—and why I’ve now built one.

In the early days of CondationCMS, every piece of content had to be created in a text editor. That worked fine—as long as the person writing the content had some technical background. It was just Markdown with a YAML header, after all.

But at some point, I realized I didn’t want to be the one getting called for every small content change. So I decided to build something that would allow non-technical users to create and update content on their own.

Here’s what I had in mind when starting the project:

• The Manager is primarily for content authors
• Template development should stay outside the Manager
• Content creation should be as simple and non-technical as possible
• Authors should get all the tools they need—nothing more
• Template developers should be able to define custom forms to give users just the right amount of control
• Authors shouldn’t be able to break the layout—so complex editors like Elementor in the WordPress world offer too much freedom for this use case

That was the basic idea—and here’s the result.

Please note: This short clip doesn’t show every feature, but it should give you a good idea of how content editing works in CondationCMS.
More videos will follow soon, highlighting individual features.
