How does something like Netlify CMS work for an end user?
I mean how do you skip the "storing some sort of state in DB including a users table" step?
It is very typical for a small to medium business site client to want a minimal CMS and ability to add a few more users with edit rights.
With Netlify CMS it seems the build happens from a git repo so wouldn't it require for end user to learn git?
I love how fast and easy it is to publish static sites on Netlify but I do not see how one could host client sites on Netlify without requiring constant hand holding.
- PaulWaldman 7y agoNetlify requires adding a few static assets to your site that handle authentication and CRUD actions. This then updates your git repo. The format of the posts are in Markdown, so it may not be the most user-friendly, but the end user would not have to learn git. https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/ https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/ https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/ https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/

Translations too A static site can be set up to rebuild when someone updates content. You could also fetch content with JavaScript on the page. That would work if it was just opening hours as in the parent example
