Revolution Now

The canonical PopUP_CMS demo and development site: every feature, demonstrated live, documented briefly. Nothing here is a real band — everything here is the CMS showing off.

What PopUP_CMS is

A flat-file, no-database content management system: compiled static pages you edit visually, versioned automatically, deployed as plain files. Append /edit to any URL of this site and the page becomes an inline editor (you need an account).

The demos

• Text effects — per-element motion presets authored in the Text FX panel.
• Side table of contents — this very page uses it: the medium-style section list on wide screens.

The editor

Append /edit to any page URL: a drawer opens with panels for pages, media (drag & drop, folders), template parts with data collections, a live CSS editor, themes, fonts, page versions, plugins, notes, and System tools — content bundles in and out, core upgrades from the release depot, and the base-URL migration.

Under the hood

No database. Pages are compiled HTML with the editable source embedded between markers. Version snapshots, trash, notes and the plugin stores are plain files under content/, web-denied and excluded from every deploy and export. The core is release-versioned; this site was installed from the depot zip the same way any new site is.
