Hi, I'm Michael, a full-stack web engineer from Vienna with 20+ years of experience and a long-running frustration with software that locks essential features behind paywalls.

That frustration eventually turned into b10cks, an open-source headless CMS I'm building through my studio Coders Cantina. The idea is pretty simple: things like localization, version history, live collaboration, and a visual editor shouldn't cost enterprise money. They should just be there.

b10cks is built around composable, reusable content blocks so your CMS structure mirrors your actual product. The editor lives inside your real website. Version control works like git. Localization is field-level and baked in from day one. Pricing covers only storage and traffic, no per-seat fees, no feature tiers, no upsells.

The whole codebase is public under AGPLv3. Not as a PR move, but as a genuine commitment. Self-host it, fork it, read every line if you want.

I've spent two decades watching good tools get bought, locked down, or priced out of reach. b10cks is the CMS I always wanted and could never find, so I built it myself. Your support helps keep it free, independent, and out of venture capital hands.
