Grav MUD (Alpha) · FutureVision Labs

Human/AI
Design Language

MarkUpDown pages with NEXT Object Notation blocks — one .mud file, full layout, zero template soup. Flat-file CMS meets design spec. Built on Grav, for teams who want sites humans can read and agents can edit safely.

"Markdown told you what to say. MUD tells Grav how to show it — in a file Andy might actually open without crying."

— Team DC, FutureVision Labs

PoC / pitch fork. Not an official Grav Core release. Yet. 👀

Why Grav MUD exists

Human-readable source

Designers and devs see structure, not 400 lines of Twig spaghetti. Copy/paste sections. Diff-friendly.

AI-friendly editing

LLMs handle fenced blocks and NON config better than "guess which partial this paragraph belongs to."

Grav-native

Still YAML frontmatter, still folders, still cache — just a real .mud extension and a compile step on onPageContentRaw.

Agency-ready packages

Ship Seed, Studio, and Warp tiers for low-budget shops who need a flagship site and a maintainable spec file.

The pitch in one paragraph

Grav won by staying flat, fast, and framework-light. Grav MUD adds a design language layer without becoming a page builder monolith — your content stays text, your layouts stay declared, your theme stays CSS. Perfect for expose sites, product promos, and "please stop emailing us HTML tables" energy.
