Documentation

A flat-file CMS for Deno and Fresh that grows from Markdown content to full-stack web apps. Start without a database — add auth, a data layer, background jobs, and Preact islands when your project needs them.

Choose your path

Dune serves content editors, webmasters, and developers equally. Pick the path that matches your role:

Content Editor →

Write pages in Markdown, organize with folders, tag with taxonomies. No code required.

Webmaster →

Configure, deploy, and manage a Dune site. YAML config, CLI tools, multiple environments.

Developer →

Build themes with TSX templates and Preact islands, write plugins, add auth or a data layer, and extend the engine via API.
