VonCMS v1.25.1 Is Now Open Source (GPL-3.0)

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I last posted here.

As promised, VonCMS v1.25.1 is now officially open source under the GPL-3.0-only license.

You can now fork the project, contribute new features, fix bugs, submit pull requests, or use it as the foundation for your own publishing platform.

VonCMS is still evolving, and there's plenty of room for improvement. Opening the project to the community marks the beginning of a new chapter, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

The project is primarily built for publishers, bloggers, and news websites. The idea is simple: focus on writing and publishing instead of spending hours configuring plugins, page builders, or complicated publishing workflows.

It is built with React, Vite, PHP, and MySQL, while remaining lightweight enough to run comfortably on traditional shared hosting. The goal is to provide a modern publishing experience without unnecessary bloat

If you encounter bugs, have ideas for improvements, or would like to contribute, feel free to open an Issue or submit a Pull Request. Community contributions are always welcome.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please do not report it publicly. Instead, contact me directly via email so the issue can be investigated and fixed responsibly before public disclosure.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or contributions from the community. Whether it's your first impression, a bug report, or a new feature idea, every contribution helps make VonCMS better.

Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy the project!

VonCMS v1.24.2 "HourGlass" Released — Editor Rebirth and Reliability Patch

https://preview.redd.it/kd8unvm9fu0h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=46cc2efb6697b0a447bc9f55e59df804de32bb70

Hi everyone, dropping the latest milestone for VonCMS. v1.24.2 is now live as the current stable HourGlass release.

For context, VonCMS is a hybrid decoupled CMS (React 19 SPA + PHP/MySQL API) built for publishers who want a modern editing experience on standard shared hosting. No Node.js required in production.

Key highlights in v1.24.2:

  • New Editor Engine: Migrated from deprecated execCommand to TipTap, structured and block-aware authoring that preserves full HTML compatibility with existing posts.
  • AI Assistant Panel: Dedicated AI writing panel with explicit preview, append, replace, and discard actions before content touches the article body.
  • Fast Search: FULLTEXT search on 30,000+ posts averaging 133ms, which is 1.6x faster than legacy LIKE search.
  • Autosave Conflict Detection: 409 conflict handling when multiple tabs edit the same post. Stale tabs get a clear reload notice instead of silently overwriting.
  • Escalating Rate Limits: Repeat offenders escalate from 15 min to 1 hour to 24 hour lockout.
  • Editor/Public Parity: Tables, blockquotes, code blocks, image alignment, and figure captions now match between editor and live output.

Roadmap:

Still on track for v1.25.x as the official Open Source (MIT/GPL) transition. v1.24.x "HourGlass" is the editor stability baseline before we open it up to the community.

If VonCMS looks interesting, drop a star on GitHub. It helps more than you think. And if you want to be among the first contributors when we go open source at v1.25, watch the repo now.

Would love feedback from anyone testing it!
