Implementation of a full-stack blog content management system with a specialized rich text editor

Abstract

Content management systems for publishing blog-like websites are widely used across the internet, however despite advancements in web development technologies, the existing solutions are reluctant to take advantage of them. Established blog content management systems find themselves in environments with declining developer support, and content editing tools that have fallen behind standards set by new frameworks. This project explores the process of implementing a blog-centric content management system using modern web technologies and a RESTful backend, employing emerging frameworks to build an alternative that takes advantage of the rich content editing user experience that these frameworks enable. The content management system created in this project makes use of Nuxt and FastAPI to create a robust full-stack blogging solution, with an emphasis on the user experience of writing blog content through a custom rich text editor built upon the ProseMirror framework.
