- Very cool, fills a niche. Could you put a link to the demo right in the README.md? It's hard to click through on mobile
- > fills a niche
theres a lot of git based CMSes out there. what is the niche you perceive? (not being critical just want to see what you see)
- I have used hugo both dircetly and also via Netlify hosting.
Maintaining the side on a PC became tedious.
Netlify made life easier by emoving dependency on a local machine and offering an online CMS -- but the UX of editing is very irksome and not conducive to writing.
There were a few nagging bugs in the Netlify CMS editor -- like cursor always jumping to end of line if you are trying to edit in middle of a line. I finnaly fixed this bug by spending 30 mintes with Claude Code.
But yeah -- I have been meaning to build my own online CMS to allow frictionless editing and blog posting. Will either use this or take some inspiration from this for sure. Good work - looks nice!
- Not to nickpick, but it seems GitHub centric. Is there a way it could be used simply with git (running on a VPS, on the user space, that is, accessed via SSH)?
- Is it similar to battle tested DecapCMS? https://decapcms.org/
- i did a bit of work on netlifycms, and am a bit disappointed that decapcms's website doesnt seem to acknowledge that history.
- You could have told your LLM to NOT use node/js/npm and made the thing far more secure from day one. Npm is a security nightmare.
Also you say it’s git-based but it depends on GitHub. GitHub is not git. What if I want to use another git forge or god forbid a local repo?
I have a similar thing but it doesn’t assume GitHub and is coded in Python (by hand, it’s like 100 lines of Python and flask). Serves my needs! Simple and dumb.
- Link?
- You know who else used git backed pages?

This is pretty simple and dumb :-)
