v0.1.0: Pre-Beta Milestone 🚀 CMS & E-Commerce Ready

🎉 The Pre-Beta Milestone is Here!

We have reached a massive milestone in the NextBlock™ monorepo. The core CMS and the Premium E-commerce packages are officially feature-complete and ready for our upcoming Beta testing phase.

NextBlock is a full-stack platform, combining the flexibility of a Block Editor with the raw power of a built-in Next.js 16 Server Components frontend

🧱 Core CMS Capabilities (Ready)

Our Open-Core (AGPL) foundation is fully operational within our Nx Monorepo architecture

• Tiptap Block Editor: Our Notion-style visual block editor is fully integrated, allowing for seamless, reusable block creation
• Performance Default: Edge caching, image optimization, and static/edge-first security are achieving perfect 100/100 Lighthouse scores
• Native i18n: Multi-language support is baked into the core platform

🛍️ Premium E-Commerce Package (Ready)

The premium commerce module is locked in and ready for the Beta

• Physical & Digital: Full support for handling physical products via Stripe and digital products via Freemius
• Global Ready: Multi-currency support and Stripe auto-tax synchronization are fully functional out of the box

🧠 What's Next? Enter: Cortex AI

Before we officially open the doors for the public Beta next week, we have one final, major addition dropping this week: The Premium Cortex AI Package.

• Bring Your Own Keys: Users will be able to bring their own OpenRouter API keys.
• Native JSONB Generation: Cortex AI will be able to generate structured JSONB blocks directly into your pages.
• Global AI Agent: We are introducing a global dashboard AI agent capable of querying the database to assist you directly from the admin panel.
