The first version of AtarCMS is out: the core (yanfishel/atarcms-core) and the site skeleton (yanfishel/atarcms), both under the MIT licence.

What is in it

  • Content: collections, sections, taxonomies and menus; revisions, autosave, preview and scheduled publication.
  • A media library with WebP and AVIF variants on demand, search, site settings and generated share images.
  • The admin in five languages: English, Russian, Hebrew, German and French.
  • The default theme, the site builder skill for coding agents and bin/atar doctor.
  • Web server configs for nginx, Caddy and Apache, and Docker setups for development and production.

AI-ready from the start

The admin describes itself to browser agents at /admin/ai-guide, the public site has a markdown map at /llms.txt, and every public page has a markdown twin at its address plus .md. More on AI-ready.

A draft version

AtarCMS is still in its greenfield phase: a later 0.x version may change the database schema in place and need a fresh install. UPGRADE.md says so for every version.
