Why another CMS?

Because modern web development doesn’t have to be chaos.

NostalgiaPHP gives you the essentials — nothing more, nothing less — so you can just build.

For example, here’s a simple client-side image gallery with a lightbox. The JavaScript is completely standalone, and the CSS lives in its own file. Together they’re easy to reuse, drop into other projects, and move between sites with zero external dependencies.

Client-side rendered gallery

Gallery Code

<script type="module" src="/static/js/apps/gallery.js"></script>

<div
  class="auto-fill"
  data-gallery="
    /static/media/1.jpg,
    /static/media/2.jpg,
    /static/media/3.jpg,
    /static/media/4.jpg,
    /static/media/5.jpg,
    /static/media/6.jpg
  "
></div>
