For those who have tested VonCMS, here’s a preview of what’s coming in v1.22.
This update focuses on improving real‑world publishing workflows, team collaboration, and performance.

Editor Logs (RBAC Ready)

Built‑in editor logs allow you to track:

  • Who edited a post
  • What was changed
  • When the change happened

This is especially useful for teams using RBAC (writers, editors, admins).

Advanced Media Manager

The media system is no longer just an upload tool. It now includes:

  • Media library sync (FTP / file manager detection)
  • Responsive image generation
  • Orphan file cleanup
  • On‑demand image rebuild

All built‑in — no plugin dependency.

Category Tabs

A cleaner way to manage and organize categories directly within the interface.

Quick Editor (Frontend Editing)

Edit any post directly from the frontend without entering the admin dashboard.
This significantly improves editing speed and overall UX for content teams.

Architecture

VonCMS is built as a hybrid system:

  • React frontend – SPA + SSR hybrid
  • PHP + MySQL backend – shared‑hosting compatible

Built for developers who want a modern UX without requiring a Node.js deployment.

GitHub

Current version: v1.21.5

If you find this project interesting, consider giving it a ⭐.
VonCMS will be fully open source soon.

Goal: Build a modern CMS that is powerful, practical, and accessible — especially for developers who are tired of plugin‑heavy systems.
