VonCMS - CMS custom buatan sendiri (React + PHP + SQL) – progress & review

[Vondereich]

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera warga Carigold,


den nak share sikit satu projek peribadi yang den bangunkan sendiri sejak beberapa bulan lepas. Sekadar nak berkongsi pengalaman dan minta pendapat, bukan untuk jual apa-apa.


Projek ni ialah CMS custom yang den buat dari kosong, guna React di frontend dan PHP + SQL di backend. Idea asal sebab den nak sistem yang ringan, senyap dari segi UX, dan senang dikawal tanpa bergantung pada plugin terlalu banyak macam CMS sedia ada.


Sekarang ni sistem dah hampir siap dan ready untuk deploy. Den sendiri guna untuk testing content, SEO dan workflow harian.


Den buka thread ni sebab nak dengar pandangan dan feedback dari otai-otai Carigold, terutamanya dari sudut:
– usability
– security basic
– dan sama ada approach CMS custom ni masih relevan berbanding platform popular


Kalau ada yang berminat, den boleh share screenshot atau cerita sikit pasal architecture & cabaran masa develop.


Terima kasih, dan harap boleh belajar dari perbincangan sini.

## About This Release

**Versioning Philosophy**
VonCMS does not strictly follow Semantic Versioning.

Instead of frequent minor updates, each release represents a **milestone leap** —
a version jump only happens when a feature meaningfully improves performance, scalability, or long-term maintainability.

**Why the codename “Solana”?**
Derived from Italian/Spanish meaning *“sunny place”*
Symbolizing speed, warmth, clarity, and a fresh era for VonCMS.
Not affiliated with any blockchain project.

---

## Who Is VonCMS For?

VonCMS is designed for users who want results, not configuration fatigue.

- **Content Creators & Journalists**
Focus on writing articles and news without worrying about plugins or performance tuning.

- **News & Media Portals**
Built with SEO, ads, analytics, and speed from day one.

- **Solo Entrepreneurs & Founders**
A complete “done-for-you” website engine that runs smoothly on cheap shared hosting.

Less suitable for developers who want to heavily modify the CMS core kernel.

---

## Why VonCMS Exists

Traditional CMS platforms suffer from:
- Plugin dependency overload
- High server resource usage
- Complex maintenance and security updates

VonCMS solves this by using a **hybrid headless architecture**:
- PHP handles authentication, database, and API
- React handles rendering in the browser
- Server only serves lightweight JSON

Result: **massive performance gain on low-cost hosting**

---

## Feature Comparison (Conceptual)

- Setup time: ~2 minutes
- Core files: ~200
- Plugin dependency: Zero
- Built-in SEO: Yes
- Built-in Ads Manager: Yes
- Newsletter system: Native
- OTA updates: One click
- Security patches: Rare and controlled

Guna Gemini 3 , replit pun ok.

Senang kerja budak2 skrg.

Bagi prompt je

 

[Vondereich]

Buat sendiri ke atau vibe coding guna AI ?

Hybrid bos, dulu zaman kolej ada la belajar skit2, tapi dah ada Ai ni mudahkan kerja.. tapi nak total vibe pun susah juga sebab ada limitasi.. lagi satu Ai ni dia akan pening kalau files tu banyak, dia takkan boleh cover semua.

 

[Vondereich]

Ada masa nanti aku pull & test

sila2. buat masa ni dekat tags github tu 1.10.1 still ada 2-3 bug kecil yg tgh den repair, tunggu la dulu nak update.. mungkin jump terus 1.10.5 ke nanti..

Sebab banyak juga benda baru..


dekat 1.10.5

ni lebih fokus pada scalability


1. Revamped terus dari guna pagination guna infiinte skroll/load tapi tak infinite sebenarnya max set 500 posts skali load untuk elak perfomance drop. So max 500 posting, lain tu guna search atau carian di google.
2. InsyaAllah support ratus ribu posting kalau pandai tune server
3. Dengan secure beberapa endpoint API..

Setel yg utama ni lepas ni fokus roadmap 2.0.. yg ni plan mmg banyak benda baru.. 1.11.x ke atas tu just maintain mode saja.

 

[Vondereich]

yang ada dekat 1.10.1 ni lebih kepada tamabah features mcm security dashboard, boleh monitor kalau ada cubaan luar nak pecah masuk ke apa ke kita boleh trace , kebanyakkan gambar yg kat atas tu dah boleh anggap sejarah dah tu. banyak benda baru dah masuk..

gambar kat bawah ni nak kata latest tak juga tapi boleh la dikira baru dari gambar atas tu. Mcm current progress ada 6 theme, 6 plugin. Yg dekat gamabr bawah ni missing 2 plugin baru Ai Summary dan related post. theme ke 6 nama dia corporate..
