  Did you consider https://decapcms.org/ https://decapcms.org/ (previously Netlify CMS)? I'm surprised it never really caught on as it seems a good fit for most small Markdown based sites. Looks like Smashing Magazine was using it before they moved to Tina CMS (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/01/migration-from-wordpress-to-jamstack/ https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/01/migration-from-word...).

    The parent to this thread was head of dev experience at Netlify, so she it's presumably familiar with it!

    I’ve used it in prod before. It’s fine for small, focused sites. For example, I have some lists of people who journalists can contact. It uses decap to let editors manage the lists.

    I did! I used to work at Netlify heh. I liked it but it was a bit too clunky for what I wanted (I admit I haven't tried it since Decap took over though).

  Is your blog open source? I tried to implement Tina for my personal blog but I found their docs to be pretty confusing (granted this was a few years ago) and had a hard time upgrading due to breaking changes. I personally ended up going with Contentlayer in the end which wasn't what I wanted, but it's good enough without breaking changes.

    Yes! https://github.com/cassidoo/blahg https://github.com/cassidoo/blahg Also, if it's helpful, I actually live-streamed my implementation and luckily a Tina maintainer was in the chat when I also struggled with the docs: https://twitch.tv/cassidoo https://twitch.tv/cassidoo
