A customizable and scalable content management system engine for Ruby on Rails applications.
Fae is a content management system engine for Ruby on Rails applications. It provides developers with a customizable foundation to build admin interfaces and manage content, including features like authentication, authorization, and image processing. Unlike some CMS solutions, Fae is designed to be extended and scaled for complex, bespoke projects.
Rails developers and teams building custom content management systems or admin panels for their applications, especially those needing a flexible, scalable solution beyond basic CRUD interfaces.
Developers choose Fae because it offers a balance of out-of-the-box functionality and deep customizability—its generated code is meant to be modified, making it ideal for projects that need to evolve beyond standard CMS constraints.
CMS for Rails. For Reals.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides authentication and authorization out of the box, including role-based access control and multi-factor authentication, as highlighted in the features section, reducing initial security setup.
Generators create models, controllers, and views designed to be modified, allowing deep customization beyond standard CMS constraints, which aligns with Fae's philosophy of being a starting point.
Includes advanced tools like global search, multi-language support, change tracking, and image processing, documented in the README, offering robust content management capabilities.
Delivers a sleek, user-friendly UI for content management, enhancing the admin experience without requiring additional styling effort, as noted in the key features.
Only works with Ruby on Rails (e.g., Fae 3.x supports Rails 7), limiting its use in projects with other frameworks and creating potential upgrade complexities.
While customizable, it requires significant Rails expertise and development time to tailor generated code, which can slow down project initiation and increase maintenance.
The comprehensive feature set and engine integration might add overhead to Rails applications, affecting performance if not properly optimized or scaled.
