- Mandatum 7y agoA management system my photographer friend can use without learning what "CLI" or "GitHub" are. They just login and make changes.
- htgb 7y agoThere's https://www.netlifycms.org/ https://www.netlifycms.org/ if you want a static site generator with a CMS, FYI.
- hanniabu 7y agoAre you aware of any open source applications as a CMC for static generators like Jekyll? Would be very convenient to have one with a a simple github login/auth settings page and then add/edit page/post options and the ability to select or upload a theme would be great.
- petepete 7y agoNetlifyCMS works with Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Middleman and a few others. https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/jekyll/ https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/jekyll/
- indysigners 7y agoYup, exactly that. WordPress editors (WYSIWYG and Gutenberg) are still far more user-friendly and mature than a Netlify CMS that still is buggy like hell and where many little details and YAML formattings need to be fixed in code editor. You really cannot expect such a thing to be done by a non-coding person.

- blowski 7y agoA huge variety of plugins, and a large pool of cheap developers with plenty of experience in the stack. I personally like Jenkins, but if I’m handing the site over to a low-tech client, I’d use WordPress hosted on managed WordPress.
