Hugo (https://gohugo.io/ https://gohugo.io/) nowadays is a good Markdown-based CMS with the right theme, and you can host it for free on GitHub Pages, with a GitHub Action to deploy to GitHub Pages on commit.
Here's the source code for my blog with utilizes that workflow, which could publish a post live just from uploading a single Markdown file: https://github.com/minimaxir/minimaxir.github.io https://github.com/minimaxir/minimaxir.github.io
- FireInsight 3y agoI don't think it's what traditionally is considered a CMS, more a static site generator. I agree it can be used without or in place of one, but it's not a program for content authoring/publishing.
- dewey 3y agoYea I wouldn't call that a CMS. Hugo is cool but I'm struggling with the same issues as OP that there's just always a slight overhead and mental barrier before publishing or writing a blog post. In the case of Hugo the issue for me is always that images are a hassle. I wish there was a web interface I could plug into my Hugo installation that just gives me drag & drop image uploading.
- elashri 3y agoThe main reason I use hugo is that I really like npm with the genuine feeling. And for some reason the majority of tools in this area are developed using npm. The mess of dealing with npm package and their dependencies are not worth it.
- earthboundkid 3y agoA CMS manages content. Hugo is a Static Site Generator. It’s a different tool. I use Hugo at work and have a custom built CMS for it.
