Folio

What WordPress would be if it were built today — for people who care about craft. CMS on Loom: ship content, not plugin stacks.

Target install

composer create-project anvyr/folio my-site
cd my-site
./folio serve

Goal: first page published before the install excitement fades — no five-plugin prerequisite, no wizard gauntlet.

Built-in, not bolted on

A typical site should not need a plugin bazaar for the basics. Folio’s product scope includes these as first-class capabilities:

SEO
Meta tags, sitemaps, schema markup, redirects — not a separate SEO plugin.
Forms
Visual form builder and submissions dashboard — not Contact Form 7.
Media
Upload, optimize, transform, lazy-load — not a third-party image stack.
Performance
Page cache, asset optimization, CDN-ready — not “install a caching plugin first.”
Security
Rate limiting, 2FA, audit log, CSRF — not Wordfence as a dependency.
Analytics
Privacy-first, built-in, no required external scripts.

Extensions exist to extend Folio. They should not be required to complete a normal site.

Editing model

Visual-first
Blocks, inline edit, live preview. .vlt storage is an implementation detail for most authors.
Command palette
Cmd+K for search, create, publish, settings — menus for browsing, palette for doing.
Contextual page view
Content, SEO, media, and publish controls without leaving the page.
Portable content
Copy content/ between installs. Git-deployable. No proprietary lock-in format.

Versus the default stack

WordPress-shaped
  • 30+ min setup + plugins + theme
  • Blog-first; CMS features via plugins
  • Plugin surface as the product
  • DB-bound content export friction
Folio target
  • Minutes: create-project → serve → publish
  • Full CMS defaults out of the box
  • Plugins extend; they don’t fill holes
  • File-native .vlt + Git

Status

In development. No public composer package yet. This page is the permanent marketing home at anvyr.dev/folio. Technical foundation: Anvyr Loom (peer product under Anvyr, not a sub-brand).
