WordPress instincts.
Next.js engine.
Hooks, CPTs, themes, plugins, REST — the mental model you know — on a modern stack. One SQLite file. CURSY-first admin. No PHP.
Familiar surface. Different substrate.
Extensibility, not lock-in
Same vocabulary as WordPress — without theme-plugin hacks for admin polish. Your portable SQLite database stays yours.
Built for builders
Self-host with Node. Optional password auth, admin vs editor roles, headless-friendly REST when you need it.
AI where it belongs
Bring your own keys. Content and media workflows plug into the core seam — not bolted on the side.
The right testers
You’re a fit if…
- You’ve shipped or maintained WordPress sites and understand CPTs, themes, or plugins.
- You’re comfortable with Node, env vars, and a local or VPS deploy — not looking for cPanel one-click yet.
- You’ll give honest feedback on admin UX, rough edges, and docs — not drive-by stars.
Not the right fit if…
- You need a hosted “click install” like classic WP shared hosting — that’s a later chapter.
- You want a page builder shootout this week — we’re validating the core CMS and ecosystem story first.

Synthwave-native admin UI — hand-crafted CSS, no Tailwind soup. Coherent with the rest of the Cursy line.
VibeCMS is Team DC tooling: lineage-friendly N.O.N., hooks, and a marketplace discovery story that doesn’t pretend checkout is live before it is.
