Atomic Wagtail
summary
Wagtail is a Django CMS that actually stores rich content as StreamField JSON blobs composed of reusable block classes that render with their own templates, making components truly modular. The presenter shows mapping blocks to atomic design: atoms→molecules→organisms so design and code stay in sync. Built-in page features include hierarchical pages via a tree model, searchable integration with Elasticsearch, and page revisions exist (but media are noted to images lack versioning). An extended publishing workflow adding a staging site is described as implemented and working.
