Introduction

Mero is an open-source, developer-friendly CMS designed for freelance React developers and small agencies looking for an intuitive yet highly flexible content management solution. Whether you're building a blog, a landing page, or a full-scale web application, Mero provides a powerful backend while giving you complete control over your frontend.

Why Mero?

Traditional CMS platforms can be too rigid or too complex for modern React-based projects. Mero strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and flexibility, offering:

✅ Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for SEO-friendly frontends
✅ Single Page Application (SPA) admin dashboard for a smooth user experience
✅ Fully customizable content structures—define your own JSON models
✅ Easy single-server deployment—no need for separate backend and frontend servers
✅ Built-in authentication and user management

Built with a Vision

Mero is created and led by Dian Nandiwardhana, with the goal of providing a simple yet powerful CMS that React developers can rely on. While the project is still in its early stages, it is built with scalability and community-driven improvements in mind.
