Berowra is an open source CMS for hobbyists and small buisnesses that enables them to start building on top of their content in just three minutes. It comes with an API, file hosting, Markdown support and more! At the moment it's in beta on Deta Space!
👋 Hi friends (and Tosh, thank you for hunting me)! I've always found CMSs a challenge in the past, whether hosting them was painful or they cost a ton. No fun :( I wanted to make a CMS that was a little more fun and that you could use for a couple of minutes and then have the job done :D So I built Berowra (named after my grandparent's home town).
First up, I built Berowra for Deta Space. The CMS will run in your own sandboxed 'personal cloud' in Deta Space, without the need for maintenance by yourself, for free (the best part IMO). You can directly view & access the data Berowra stores through Space, which gives you a nice look into how it all works. I feel hosting Berowra on Deta Space strikes a nice balance between the benefits of a self hosted CMS and a hosted CMS, which I'm reallly happy with.
Here are the key parts of Berowra:
- 🗄 Content is stored in collections to keep things nice and organised
- 🔢 Seven different data formats available: string, date, number, markdown, colour, string array and files!
- 🖼️ File hosting for images, videos and more
- ⚡ A well documented API that is organised and supports filtering
I've open sourced Berowra at https://github.com/sampoder/berowra and would love to hear what you think about Berowra! This is probably this biggest programming project of mine, it's been a journey for sure!
Thank you :)
