In simple English
This tool lets you build a visual page editor right inside your Next.js website. You can drag and drop blocks, style them with Tailwind, and let AI write content. It runs inside your own application and stores data in your own SQLite database. You need a Next.js developer to set it up, but then non-technical people can edit pages. It is free open-source software with a permissive licence.
What it is
An open-source visual page builder and component library designed specifically for Next.js App Router. It gives you a complete drag-and-drop canvas, server-side actions, database adapters, and AI writing tools that plug directly into your codebase.
