Cofoundry

Open source ASP.NET Core content management system and application framework with code-first development.

Cofoundry is an open source content management system and application framework for ASP.NET Core, built code first. Page templates are ASP.NET Razor views, and content is stored in a SQL Server database.

It is added to an ASP.NET Core project as the Cofoundry.Web.Admin NuGet package, or created from a dotnet new template. Plugins install from NuGet and add features such as image resizing, background tasks and mail.

Worth knowing

The README describes the 0.x releases as early development in which breaking changes can happen at any point.
