A comprehensive demonstration project showcasing Wagtail CMS features, designed as a learning resource for developers.
Bakerydemo is a demonstration project for Wagtail CMS that provides comprehensive examples of common features and development recipes. It's designed to help developers learn Wagtail's internals through practical code examples across multiple applications and custom content models. The project includes a fully functional demo site with editorial interface exploration, but is explicitly not recommended as a starter for production sites.
Developers who want to learn Wagtail CMS internals through hands-on code examples, particularly those transitioning from other CMS platforms or building complex Wagtail-based applications.
It offers a curated collection of real-world Wagtail patterns and features in a single codebase, saving developers time from piecing together documentation examples. Unlike generic tutorials, it demonstrates multi-app architecture, admin customization, and complex relationships in context.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Demonstrates real-world patterns like dividing a project into multiple apps (e.g., 'breads', 'locations'), providing hands-on learning for Wagtail architecture.
Shows how to extend Wagtail admin using _wagtail_hooks_ and snippets, as seen in customizing categories and metadata in the demo.
Includes working examples of search, contact forms, and localization, offering contextual learning for common Wagtail development tasks.
Designed specifically for learning, with code organized to highlight best practices and Wagtail internals through exploration, as emphasized in the README.
Explicitly warned against for production use, with hardcoded settings like DB search and console email backend that require significant changes for real-world deployment.
Uses Wagtail's native DB search with hardcoded model names, which is a simplified demo approach and not scalable; the README admits ElasticSearch is needed for production.
Offers multiple installation methods (Vagrant, Docker, venv) that can be complex and time-consuming, especially for beginners or those unfamiliar with these tools.
