🚧 Bricks CMS (TRIPPLE BETA)

A headless, developer-first CMS built on Django. Write your content schema once – get a working API and admin UI. No SaaS, no builder UI, just Python and clarity.

---

✨ What is Bricks?

Bricks is an early-stage, code-first CMS that combines the flexibility of JSON-based pages with the power of SQL-backed collections – all defined in plain Python.

Built for developers who:

• are tired of clicking through interfaces (Strapi, Directus),
• don’t want to give up SQL just to use Payload,
• want to own their backend, not rent it.

🧱 Core Concepts

Pages

• Represent unique content like "Homepage", "About", etc.
• Defined with flexible fields (TextField, Repeater, etc.)
• Stored as structured JSON
• Ideal for block-based rendering in your frontend

Collections

• Represent structured content types like "Projects", "Jobs", "Team"
• Backed by generated Django models and real SQL tables
• Support filtering, querying, relations, and admin lists

homepage = Page(
    "Homepage",
    slug="homepage",
    fields=[
        TextField("Claim", "claim"),
        Repeater("CTAs", "ctas", fields=[
            TextField("Label", "label"),
            URLField("Link", "url"),
        ])
    ]
)

projects = Collection(
    label="Projects",
    singular_label="Project",
    slug="projects",
    fields=[
        TextField("Title", "title"),
        TextField("Description", "description"),
        URLField("URL", "url"),
    ]
)

🏗️ Current Status: TRIPPLE BETA

Bricks is in an early experimental phase. Only basic field types are implemented. The sync_collections system generates database tables from your content schema. The Repeater field is a work in progress. The admin UI for editing content is just starting to take shape.

But: The core ideas are working – and evolving fast.
