https://github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu - Ponzu is quite interesting and unusual CMS. A traditional CMS is usually a ready application with functionality extended by plugins. On the contrary Ponzu is a command line tool that scaffolds ready code and HTML pages for you. For example, if you need to add a new page "Author", you can type the command:

"$ ponzu gen content author firstname:"string" <other fields>"

and Ponzu will generate the table in the DB, code for it and ready editable page for you. Now you need to build the code and run it and you will see the nice CMS in your browser! Your code can access the data via the REST API over HTTP2, no matter what language or platform you are using.
Definitely it worth to try on your next project.
