#DecapCMS

#hugo

So been researching the following options to make it easier:

1. Alt editors: not sure if using Nova’s built-in git tools would help. Or VS Code, which is easier for my collaborators to obtain. I prefer #nova, but will hold my nose if necessary.

2. Tools like #decapcms and #sveltia. I’m not sure whatbthese are: Are they basically JavaScript apps I run on a serve that act as a front-end? Could I run a single instance of these on a separate serve but allow User A access to sites 1 and 2, User B to just site 2?

3. Briefly looked at #quiqr which promised to be a sort of all in one tool but couldn’t get it to work at all. Looks like I’d have to rewrite my site for it.

4. Something else?

I feel like the CMS options (# 2) are the best path forward, but looking for other’s experiences. I enjoy the #hugo workflow but starting to feel like I’m out of my depth here.

Kennt sich jemand mit #decapCMS aus? Ich versuche eine Konfiguration oben in jede Seite reinzubekommen und schaffe es nicht. Falls da wer einen Tipp hat wäre ich dankbar.
Das soll oben in jeden header, bonuspunktem wenn man noch nen schalter hat für true/false :)
```
[build]
publishResources = false
```
Danke!

Moltíssims llocs web fets amb CMS poden refer-se amb generadors de web estàtiques i millorarien en rapidesa i seguretat. A més, el manteniment passa a ser molt menor.

Amb la combinació de i es pot aconseguir tenir una solució ràpida, òptima, segura i fàcilment editable.

Hey #11ty and #webdev mastodon what is your favorite CMS to use with #Jamstack? I am thinking of leaving behind #DecapCMS

I like what #tinacms has to offer in terms of a git-based #CMS, but I loathe #React and #NextJS . They support #hugo as far as I can tell, but their starter template doesn't work. Crashes during startup 😒

#decapcms seems like a reasonable alternative. Plenty of support for many #ssg tools like #11ty, but the editing experience in #decapcms is pretty boring. Doesn't really offer anything for me beyond what I could simply do with text files.

I want a decent editing experience, where I can both author blog posts, but also build my web-site using blocks/components. #Tinacms seems pretty ok all around, but looking at the starter sample, the code is crazy convoluted. There is more wrapper-code and boilerplate than there is actual HTML. Hard to know where to even start.

#cloudcannon has an excellent alternative. If this was free for individuals, I'd jump right on that. But I'm just running a little personal website that makes no revenue, so I don't want to fork out $50 a month for it.

Anyway, #sendhelp

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

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

@Trex @mapachana Para usar writefreely, en vez de write.as mola más escritura.social , que lo lleva @editora y hay una comunidad bonita. Pide dinerico pero porque cuesta dinerico tenerlo instalado, pero a cambio te acoje en su familia como una igual 😉 WriteFreely forma parte del fediverso, es muy claro y fácil de usar.

Si en cambio quieres algo más personal y tienes acceso a un servidor web, o alguien te deja un rinconcito en el suyo para subir una web estática, puedes probar #publii , #decapCMS o si estás a gusto con la terminal, @gohugoio

Las webs estáticas son muy fáciles de replicar, mover de un sitio a otro, y son muy rápidas y seguras :)

También está https://nekoweb.org/ , que usa el software de neocities, inspirada en la antigua geocities (portal de webs ligeras y gratis mítica de los dosmiles)

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 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).

@kantel sieht interessant aus. Wenn man nicht unbedingt GitHub als backend nutzen will macht auch 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 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?
