Puck
Modular visual editor for React: drag-and-drop page editing built from your own components.
MIT-licensed, installed from npm, with no vendor lock-in on your data.
Puck is a React component that gives your editors a drag-and-drop page builder using components you define. It suits developers building a CMS or marketing-page tool inside their own product.
What it is
You install @puckeditor/core, describe your components and their fields in a config, and render the Puck editor and a Render component in your app. It works in React environments including Next.js, and you decide where the page data is saved.
Who it's for
It suits React and Next.js teams who want editors to assemble pages from an approved component set. It does not suit non-developers, because there is no hosted designer: you must write the config and wire up storage.
Key features

Editors drag in components you define in a config.

Plain data output
Page data is yours to save in any database.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- MIT licence makes it usable in internal and commercial products.

- A single React component, so it fits existing apps.
- Demo and docs are linked from the README.
Where it falls short
- It needs React development work; there is no no-code mode.
- You must build saving, hosting and publishing yourself.
- There is no AI generation in the README.
Pricing & license
