Offpress is a distributed CMS powered by Git, in the browser.
Offpress is a portable and self contained blogging engine that does not require you to store your content in a single service provider, powered by Offbase. You can download the entire Offpress full stack directly into your browser, do your work in the browser, and then push the content to any Git repository.
- Minimal: The default Offpress engine is a simple blogging engine that focuses on content and gets out of the way.
- Extensible: The architecture is extensible and you can add multiple modules
- Free: There are many CMS services out there, but all of them have a "pricing model". This is because these platforms cost money to run, since they have to store all their user content on their server. Offpress doesn't require a server to operate because it's powered by Offbase, a distributed web app framework that lets you replace centralized cloud components with distributed git.
- Open: Offpress is completely open source. In fact it's impossible for Offpress to be NOT open source because of the way it works. The whole point of Offbase powered apps like Offpress is that the entire application logic is self contained and delivered straight to the browser, creating a virtual cloud environment inside the browser.
