Create - On-site web editing interface

Create logo

Create, from the Midgard Project, is a comprehensive web editing interface for Content Management Systems. It is designed to provide a modern, fully browser-based HTML5 environment for managing content. Create can be adapted to work on almost any content management backend.

Create.js is built on top for VIE, the semantic interaction library powered by Backbone.js. The widgets in Create.js itself are done with the jQuery UI tools.

Features

  • Making RDFa-annotated content on pages editable
  • Managing collections of content (add, remove)
  • Local, in-browser storage and retrieval of unsaved content
  • Adaptable connector for communicating with the back-end system
  • Running workflows (approval, etc.) for content items
  • Browsing and reverting content history
  • Easy rebranding of the interface with some CSS
