Hello everyone,

After two years of work, i'm proud to present Revyme, an advanced design-oriented website builder, fully open source, self-hostable, as an alternative to Webflow or Framer.

You can check it out here

When I started web development, I instantly fell in love with the design and animation side of things. Naturally, I stumbled across website builders like Framer and Webflow and although I loved what they were doing, the "black box", no code export and vendor lock in felt to restrictive.

So i've made my own version.

I'm excited for future contributions to the project to make it an awesome product.

Would love to hear your feedback !

Hello everybody,

I built bulletinbored, a minimal and extensible forum software written in pure PHP with zero dependencies.

No Composer, no Docker, no Node, no framework. Just upload the files to any PHP 8.x server and it works on any web hosting, also shared and cheap ones.

Key points:

• SQLite by default (MySQL also supported)
• Web installer
• Plugin system with hooks
• Theme system
• Admin panel, user management, avatars, moderation
• Built-in localization
• Automatic update checks
• License: 0BSD

Repo: https://github.com/bulletinbored/bulletinbored-core

Website: https://www.bulletinbored.net

Docs: https://docs.bulletinbored.net

Because the development is still in early stage, I’m looking for any kind of feedback. Feel free to write suggestions, criticisms or slatings.

Happy to answer questions and open to contributions.

Thanks!

Hey folks, I am the core maintainer of Sitepins CMS. I want to know if anyone is using it?

It was closed source before, but recently we decide to make it open source under AGPL v3 license.

If you are using it, you can give me feedback, and if you haven’t explored it yet, you should give it a try.

Hi everyone,

For the past several months, I’ve been putting a huge amount of my spare time, development work and money into building a complete digital signage CMS called Lumify.

https://lumifysignage.co.uk

The idea was to create something designed for real-world, multi-screen digital signage — the kind of screens you see every day in:
🍔 Takeaways & digital menu boards
🍽️ Restaurants & cafés
🏋️ Gyms & leisure centres
🛍️ Retail shops
🏨 Hotels & hospitality
🏢 Offices & reception areas
📢 Advertising displays
📺 Multi-screen & video wall installations

Rather than just building a basic media player, I’ve tried to create a complete platform for managing an entire network of screens remotely from one dashboard.
After months of development, it’s now at the stage where I’d really like to get more people using it.

Lumify is currently FREE, and I’m looking for people willing to try it in real-world environments and give me some genuine feedback.

🚀 What does it do?
Some of the features currently available include:
• Centralised management of multiple screens
• Android digital signage player
• Browser/Web Player
• Image & video playback
• Websites and embedded content
• Playlists
• Advanced content scheduling
• Content expiry dates
• Drag-and-drop template designer
• Digital menu board designer
• Multi-zone screen layouts
• Video walls
• Synchronised screen/TV groups
• Remote screen management
• Live screen previews
• Offline playback/content caching
• Proof-of-play reporting
• QR codes
• Weather & RSS widgets
• Canva & Google Slides support
• User accounts & permissions
• Content approval workflows
• Multi-language support
• Webhooks & integrations
• White-label branding options
• And plenty more

The goal is to make it possible to go from a TV + inexpensive player/device to a centrally managed professional signage network without needing an expensive enterprise signage platform.

💜 Free to use
You can currently use Lumify completely free.
There’s no credit card required, so if you’ve got an Android device, TV, spare display, Raspberry Pi/browser setup or anything else suitable, I’d genuinely love for you to give it a try.
I’m particularly interested in feedback around:
What’s confusing? What’s missing? What could be improved? What features would you actually want in a real installation?
I’m the person developing it, so feedback can directly influence what gets added or changed.

🖥️** Self-hosted & source code option**s
For businesses, developers, MSPs and signage companies that don’t want to use the hosted service, I’ve also made self-hosted options available.
That means organisations can run their own Lumify installation on their own infrastructure rather than relying on my hosted platform.

I’m also open to white-label/reseller arrangements and source-code licensing for companies interested in running, modifying or building a service around the platform.
That’s not really the main reason for this post though — right now I’d primarily like to get more real users testing the platform and telling me what they think.

👋 Want to try it?
You can see the platform, features and interactive demo here:
Lumify Digital Signage⁠
If you decide to try it, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience — even if your feedback is negative. Bug reports, feature requests, UI criticism and suggestions are all useful.

I’ve invested a lot into getting Lumify this far, and I’d love to see people actually using it for real signage installations.
If anyone has questions about the CMS, players, hardware, self-hosting or how any of it works, ask away and I’ll be happy to answer.

Thanks for taking a look! 🙌

Hi!

Brightspot just released a free Chrome extension called The Brightspot Toolkit. It connects a live website’s front end to the Brightspot CMS and gives content teams, marketers, SEO teams and developers a shared set of tools directly in the browser.

The main feature is click-to-edit. With one click, you can jump from a live page to its editable back end in Brightspot. This saves content teams from searching the CMS for the page they want to edit or asking a developer where a specific component lives.

The extension also includes tools for checking title tags, meta descriptions, links, heading structure, alt text and color contrast. You can review what information is available to search engines and LLMs, run accessibility checks based on WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and see Core Web Vitals through Google PageSpeed Insights.

On the developer side, you can inspect structured content and raw JSON, review API responses, check Brightspot and front-end version information, capture HAR files and copy browser or device details for troubleshooting. There is also a QR code generator for quickly opening the page on another device.

The goal was to reduce some of the back-and-forth between the live site, the CMS, SEO tools, accessibility checkers and dev tools. Everyone can look at the same page and access the information they need from one panel.

It is currently available for Chrome and is free for Brightspot CMS users. It works best with Brightspot v5 and can also support headless Brightspot sites through a lightweight meta tag setup.

What tools do you usually have open when reviewing or troubleshooting a live page, and is there anything you would want added to an extension like this?
