## Notes

Maglev is a visual page builder for Ruby on Rails that runs inside the Rails application it belongs to. Editors compose pages from sections and blocks in a browser editor at `/maglev/editor`, and visitors get HTML rendered by the Rails app, with the app's own routing, auth and hosting. The open source gem is installed through a Rails application template or added to the Gemfile as `maglevcms`, and the project's quickstart covers both paths.

## Worth knowing

The open source edition is a single-site gem. The SaaS Edition is a commercial license for one Rails application, delivered as private gems, and it adds multi-site and multi-theme support for platforms.
