First peek at Instatic - fully open-source, self-hosted CMS
Take a first look at Instatic - https://youtu.be/zyjCF_TaLlg?si=WZBxxqmsIo0gZ_zY
Instatic brings the whole website workflow into one product: visual editing, structured content, media, forms, reusable components, templates, publishing, plugins, HTML import and AI-assisted page building — all running from one Bun server backed by SQLite or Postgres.
Unlike most visual builders, Instatic does not ship the editor and CMS bloat to your visitors. Published pages are plain semantic HTML and compact CSS, with no React runtime unless you need one, no builder attributes, no hydration step, and no platform lock-in. Sites are baked and served as static files, so the public site stays fast, portable, and easy to inspect.
This is a pre-1.0 open-source project, and the goal is to build the foundation in public: no legacy platform constraints, no open-core pricing tricks, no forced SaaS model, and no compromise on output quality
