Spina CMS is a Ruby on Rails gem that adds an easy-to-use content management system with a clean, distraction-free admin interface to Rails applications. It is installed via a gem and an interactive installer, letting developers build websites with full control over the frontend.

Use cases

• add a cms to my rails app
• build a marketing website with ruby on rails
• manage page content without a separate cms platform
• self-host a simple website with an admin panel
• give clients an easy interface to edit their site
• create a blog or portfolio site in rails

When to choose

• you are already building with Ruby on Rails and want integrated CMS features
• you want a clean, minimal admin UI without heavy configuration
• you want full freedom over the frontend stack of your website
• you prefer a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to WordPress

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Ruby on Rails
• you need a headless CMS with a REST/GraphQL API out of the box
• you need a turnkey CMS without writing any Rails code
• you require a large plugin/theme marketplace ecosystem
