Looking for CMS advice

Hey Web devs!

Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?

I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.

Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.

Needs

• I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
• Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
• Static website in the front-end
• Simple and reliable CI/CD
• No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
• Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
• If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
• #OpenSource

Nice to have

• Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
• Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
• CMS app packaged on @yunohost
• No CMS vendor lock-in
• I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
• #FreeSoftware

Absolutely not

• Front-end #JavaScript frameworks

Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.

People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

I finally got around to doing something with my blog again. I added #decapcms to my #jekyll based site.
Now I just need to write the next post on the integration with @ubernauten

Eeeh, took a few moths break from a #web-dev project that used #StaticCMS as a #Git-based #CMS for a #StaticSite and now I'm learning it is archived and development has stopped 😅

Any toughts on alternatives? #TinaCMS? #DecapCMS? Is Netlify funding the latter? Is Netlify evil?

Ich habe mein Blog https://reaktionsfaehig.net mit Decap CMS (früher Netlify CMS) aufgerüstet! 🛠️ In meinem neuen Post teile ich meine ersten Erfahrungen damit – von der Einrichtung bis zu den Vorteilen für meinen Workflow. Wer also mit einem statischen Blog arbeitet und nach einem einfachen CMS sucht, sollte mal hineinschauen:

#HELP! I've been working with a team of geographers to build a #Palestine curriculum at the intersection of space and politics.

We want to publish a bilingual website with the content.

I tried to polish my rusty techie mind, and built a something using #Hugo. But got stuck making the #DecapCMS to recognize the translated content.

Do I know any nerds here who can help me fix this?

Also here's a pic I took when I was in Palestine in 2023 (near depopulated village Hittin).

#DecapCMS and #GitLab integration without Netlify. https://predragtasevski.com/blog/decapcms-and-gitlab-integration-without-netlify

@colinaut im using #decapcms for editing sites right now - tina looks interesting

@kantel #PagesCMS sieht interessant aus. Wenn man nicht unbedingt GitHub als backend nutzen will macht auch #DecapCMS Sinn, das ist ein fork? des NetlifyCMS.

I didn't realize quite how big this site was. It's got about 560 content items across five content types, but I'm able to scrape just about everything. I'm throwing in #decapcms to manage it, and it's working perfectly so far.

This may be the most complex Eleventy site I've built so far. My personal site has a comparable amount of content, but in this one, the content is full of references to other content items.

Hey #devs I have a question. #DecapCMS or #staticcms? I used #NetlifyCMS on a bunch of projects fueled by hope fo a Git based CMS but its been ok'ish. Do I stick with the what I know and I'm using or do I venture out?

working with #eleventy and #decapcms (former #netlifycms ) is pretty awesome
With one exception the use of the word collections
one is a collection of data the other is a contentype / pagetype kinda thingie

Naming stuff is hard

@nhoizey yes im about to do a rebuild of the saga11 system to run on liquid + netlifycms is now #decapcms

So when thats done im gonna fill the issues with questions ;)

So, #NetlifyCMS got a new name a couple of weeks ago: #DecapCMS. But right before Netlify announced the new owner/name, a community fork called #StaticCMS was created. And – compared to Decap CMS which is still mostly dormant – the fork actually put a lot of work in and is about to release a new major version v2 in about two weeks. I'm really excited for this new version to be a proper successor to #NetlifyCMS. https://github.com/StaticJsCMS/static-cms #CMS #WebDev #Jamstack #StaticSiteGenerator
