The license is GPL but I can't find the code repository anywhere. We'd love do ditch WordPress but our users demand a web-ish interface to work with static sites. This could be it. Also, what's the strategy for plugins?

I have had good experience with Lektor (getlektor.com) for small sites where I don't really want Wordpress. It's simple, drop it in and run, it's quite mature and you can write plugins in Python.

  this looks amazing, do they have sample templates for blogs

    If you meant theming, you would have to do it yourself. If you meant how to setup a blog, it is fairly simple (https://www.getlektor.com/docs/guides/blog/ https://www.getlektor.com/docs/guides/blog/).

      I would love to see a prepackaged full-featured blog engine built on top of Lektor. Lektor seems great and all, but it is really more of a framework than ready-to-use thing.

Shameless plug: - We built https://forestry.io https://forestry.io to get away from WordPress. We support Jekyll & Hugo and a Git-based workflow :)

  I set up forestry on my father's bed and breakfast website. I am very pleased.

    Glad to hear! I'd love to know how we could improv the experience if you have sky feedback

      I'm using forestry for my company site now to give my non-tech cofounder an easy way to write blog posts. Two suggestions that would really improve my life: 1. A better wysiwyg editor. I've taught her some markdown but every time you switch to wysiwyg and back and make a change I get loads of spans injected into my md. 2. A better media manager with: - folders - image resizing (maybe integrate filestack.io as they have some image manipulation) I love the simplicity of forestry and it's really close to perfect for my use case. Github -> s3 is seamless and having edits committed back is great.

        Thanks for the suggestion! #1 is in the works and #2 is in early planning stages.

  forestry + hugo is incredibly amazing. Hugo is a single cross platform binary that generates static websites almost instantaneously. https://themes.gohugo.io/ https://themes.gohugo.io/

GPL without code is a violation of GPL.

  Except they're the copyright holder right? So (IANAL) I think it just means other people have no way to (legally) distribute it.
