A smooth Sailin' template-driven CMS that installs into your existing SvelteKit project. Define your content structure and Sailor generates your database schema and admin interface.

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL: Sailor CMS is primarily built for my own needs, and it can be considered early beta. It uses the experimental remote functions. Use at your own risk!
