FormCMS is a cutting-edge, open-source Content Management System designed to revolutionize web development through AI. By automating the most tedious parts of development—schema design, data seeding, API creation, and UI building—FormCMS allows you to build complex, production-ready applications in minutes rather than weeks.
|
Generate schemas, data, GraphQL queries, and full UI pages using natural language prompts. Let AI handle the tedious work while you focus on creativity. |
Add engagement bars (views, likes, bookmarks, shares) and user avatars to any page with AI prompts. Social features are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts. |
P95 latency under 200ms, 2,400+ QPS throughput. Handle millions of posts with CDN caching and billions of user activities with horizontal sharding. |
FormCMS acts as your AI-driven development partner. Describe what you want, and it builds it:
- Generate the Full Stack: Entities (schemas), Seed Data, GraphQL Queries, and UI Pages from natural language.
- Add Engagement Instantly: "Add a like button" or "Show user avatar" simply works.
- Manage & Iterate: View version history and manage artifacts in the visual portal.
