. fully local file editing is HUGE for me, probably the biggest reason i didn't use DecapCMS instead. i don't like adding the netlify OAuth dependency and all that entails, and i just wanted a workflow for my users to edit files locally and pass them into a pull request later.

I Finally got DecapCMS working alongside new site so everything should be organized now.
I Just need some interesting stuff to write about.

@ slothrop If it's on GitHub or GitLab, you can use DecapCMS or SveltiaCMS. You might also want to try @ [email protected] / @ [email protected] , but maybe that doesn't run on mobile* *except Linux phones

Have you seen DecapCMS or TinaCMS? They're more of a git based workflow, but have surprisingly decent GUI tools that get created based on the metadata you define for different pages and content types

There are a couple of existing examples in that vein (DecapCMS, formerly NetlifyCMS, and others) but they’re almost all built with the assumption that the author will be building a bunch of it and doing their own server wrangling from scratch. @zachleat.com probably has some … thoughts :D

Eeeh, took a few moths break from a #web-dev project that used #staticcms as a #Git-based #cms for a #staticsite and now I'm learning it is archived and development has stopped 😅
Any toughts on alternatives? #tinacms? #decapcms? Is Netlify funding the latter? Is Netlify evil?

integrated sveltia-cms into my existing hugo project today. some notes ✍️
note: the project is currently in early integration so many things might end up different later on, or my assumptions might be incorrect.

Ok, so building from yesterday's meetup project I built an @11ty.dev tool to make single-file front-end components (think WordPress blocks), which also generates the Netlify/DecapCMS-compatible config to build pages from them.
Is that something y'all would want to see/hear more about?

Finally got around to updating a DecapCMS config.yml file to use anchors and aliases.
Cut it from over 800 lines down to ~460, while increasing the feature set so that event collection can use the same nested content types as the regular pages, instead of just a markdown container.

I've built something novel: Reusable single-file components for Eleventy with data, markup, styles, and optional DecapCMS support. Build and reuse front-end components in @11ty.dev
For me this is half-way to the client-facing dream of a visual editor.

We can avoid corporate owned CMSes and do this in @11ty.dev and DecapCMS or @sveltiacms.app.

Not exactly a non-dev solution but I've had some success recently binding DecapCMS (decapcms.org) to any generic static site. There's a fiddly setup cost, but once it's done I think it's a good free solution to start to democratise self hosted static sites away from being a nerds-only territory.

ohh i didn't realize ghost was paid / needed a server, whoops. only other one i was familiar with was netlifycms which i guess became decapcms when i wasn't looking?
either way: cool, github-starred Publii for the next time i need something like it!

I know some people have success with tools like DecapCMS to help non-technical editors work with md in a repo, but I would generally agree with you. I would personally always recommend using a CMS if the site is being edited by somebody who isn't comfortable with GitHub and a CLI.

These CMSes (and others like SveltiaCMS and DecapCMS) make me want to shake people and ask what they REALLY need a website to DO.
Do you REALLY need EVERYTHING WordPress can do? Or do you need to edit your text and pictures once in a while?
