BrowserCMS is an open source, general-purpose Web Content Management System built as a Ruby on Rails engine, targeting Rails 4.0. It supports non-technical editors, designers, and developers with features like in-context editing, workflow, section-based security, and extensible content types.

Use cases

• add a cms to an existing rails app
• build a content-heavy website for non-technical editors
• manage site pages with a sitemap and content library
• set up editorial workflow where contributors can't publish
• create custom content types in a rails cms
• build a mobile-friendly responsive website with a cms

When to choose

• you have a Rails 4.0 project and want integrated content management
• you need editor-friendly in-context editing and multi-area templates
• you want a self-hosted CMS with workflow and section-based permissions

When to avoid

• you use a modern Rails version (7.x) — this targets Rails 4.0 only
• you need an actively maintained CMS with recent security patches
• you want a headless or API-first CMS
