Hearth CMS - Welcome The World First CMS Built in Pageless ASP.NET Web Forms Architecture

adriancs.com is Now Powered by Hearth CMS

A lightweight, self-contained content management system built on ASP.NET (.NET Framework 4.8). All content lives in a single SQLite file — no SQL Server, no MySQL, no external services. Just two NuGet dependencies, and you install it by deploying it.

Hearth is built by using Pageless ASP.NET Web Forms Architecture (PAW). Every page is rendered in C# and routed through a single switch in Global.asax.cs. No .aspx files, no master pages, no server controls, no ViewState, no page lifecycle. The frontend talks to the backend purely through the Fetch API. The world's first web application uses PAW Architecture. This project serves as the testimony of PAW Architecture.
