Maglev

Visual page builder for Ruby on Rails that adds a page editor and a content runtime to a Rails application.

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.
