I'm surprised by the number of non-dev people that can create and edit YAML files on Github/Gitlab once you guide them around the interface.
Sometimes, they mess up the indentation, or insert a quote in a non quoted value, but the PR turns red and someone more expert can correct the issue in a few seconds.
They can even be impressed by some functionalities (whoa, reviews ! whoa, I can make a draft PR !)
Github is the cheapest headless CMS, try it first.
- sscarduzio 6y agoHow would that work? Clients use GitHub API to consume markdown?
- speedgoose 6y agoYou generate html from the markdown. Github can do it after a few clicks or you can setup actions yourself.
- tootie 6y agoThis is very, very true. I have worked on some mega enterprise CMS projects with huge marketing and content teams. A lot of heavyweight products try to be your all-in-one solution for publishing, marketing, analytics, whatever. It makes for a great sales demo, but the reality is that only a handful of people will put their hands on the console and all the decision-makers are working over email or just listening to their teams. If you know you'll only really have a handful of content operators, it's way cheaper to train them to edit JSON/YAML/MD then it is to integrate an enterprise software product.
