Why Manifest?

80% of websites and apps only use the most basic backend features. Using over-engineered solutions lead to unnecessary costs and complexity.

Manifest keeps it simple, delivering only the essential backend features and smoothly integrating in your project like any other file in your codebase.

Use cases

Manifest fits great in those type of projects:

• 🌐 Making any website dynamic: corporate, portfolios, blogs, landing pages
• 🏭 CRUD-heavy apps: mobile apps, directories, PIMs, E-shops
• 🛠️ Rapid prototyping, Proof-of-Concepts (POCs), Minimum Viable Products (MVPs)

Key features

Auth | Validation | Storage | Image resizing | Admin panel | REST API | JS SDK

Getting started

Simply run this terminal command to add Manifest locally:

npx add-manifest@latest

Note

Manifest is currently in BETA, use it at your own risk. It is stable enough to power small projects, prototypes and MVPs but we do not recommend to use it on critical platforms.
