I’ve been moving towards implementing an API based CMS, specifically prismic.io which allows me to setup content elements that marketing staff can edit. Can you explain a bit more about the non-tech user experience for content editors? Would love to find a magic Wordpress replacement with a proper git & tailwind supported workflow for devs and a simple interface for content editors. I’m hoping this fits the bill.

Seems like it should be right up your alley. Here's a gif of what content editors see: https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9 https://imgur.com/7W9zcW9 So there's a simplified toolbar (no dev stuff) but they can still add page sections and components from the component library. And when they edit components they only see the fields. You'll be able to control which stuff they have access to in the future.

  This does look very good. I could easily see this becoming a real COSS alternative to SquareSpace et al, which I feel is sorely needed.

Note sure whether that is similar to what you are looking for, but I've been working on a CMS that commits a JSON file to Git. It is called FrontAid CMS and currently in public beta: https://frontaid.io/ https://frontaid.io/ It works like this: Create a data model and put it in your Git repo. FrontAid will pick it up and generate input fields accordingly. The content editors can then create/update the input fields and the resulting content is then stored in a JSON file in your own Git repository. The big advantage of that is that your content lives where your actual code is.

You may also want to take a look at Peregrine CMS if you are looking for a good head-optional API driven CMS. (http://www.peregrine-cms.com/ http://www.peregrine-cms.com/)
