Ok, so building from yesterday's meetup project I built an @11ty.dev tool to make single-file front-end components (think WordPress blocks), which also generates the Netlify/DecapCMS-compatible config to build pages from them.
Is that something y'all would want to see/hear more about?

I've built something novel: Reusable single-file components for Eleventy with data, markup, styles, and optional DecapCMS support. Build and reuse front-end components in @11ty.dev
For me this is half-way to the client-facing dream of a visual editor.

Reusable HTML components are the monolithic CMS's killer feature. Designers and stakeholders easily understand designing websites in blocks.
We can avoid corporate owned CMSes and do this in @11ty.dev and DecapCMS or @sveltiacms.app.
You don't need WordPress.

I built the site with Astro and DecapCMS. It was a great experience. Got perfect Lighthouse scores basically without trying. With Decap, Julie has the ability to manage the site themselves as they write new books and articles, schedule events, and update their newsletter (managed with Buttondown).

The trick is that it's (mostly?) API-compatible. You can just drop in the config.yml you had from DecapCMS.

There are a couple of existing examples in that vein (DecapCMS, formerly NetlifyCMS, and others) but they’re almost all built with the assumption that the author will be building a bunch of it and doing their own server wrangling from scratch. @zachleat.com probably has some … thoughts :D

I know some people have success with tools like DecapCMS to help non-technical editors work with md in a repo, but I would generally agree with you. I would personally always recommend using a CMS if the site is being edited by somebody who isn't comfortable with GitHub and a CLI.

ohh i didn't realize ghost was paid / needed a server, whoops. only other one i was familiar with was netlifycms which i guess became decapcms when i wasn't looking?
either way: cool, github-starred Publii for the next time i need something like it!

Not exactly a non-dev solution but I've had some success recently binding DecapCMS (decapcms.org) to any generic static site. There's a fiddly setup cost, but once it's done I think it's a good free solution to start to democratise self hosted static sites away from being a nerds-only territory.

integrated sveltia-cms into my existing hugo project today. some notes ✍️
note: the project is currently in early integration so many things might end up different later on, or my assumptions might be incorrect.

These CMSes (and others like SveltiaCMS and DecapCMS) make me want to shake people and ask what they REALLY need a website to DO.
Do you REALLY need EVERYTHING WordPress can do? Or do you need to edit your text and pictures once in a while?
Thanks for posting!

Though I personally find the laser focus on “beating“ DecapCMS off putting, I’ll keep following for a bit with a wish it becomes great on its own merit.
A thing I love about OSS is the ability to learn from others in a way that makes your work better. Hope @sveltiacms.app can get out of the shadow.

Finally got around to updating a DecapCMS config.yml file to use anchors and aliases.
Cut it from over 800 lines down to ~460, while increasing the feature set so that event collection can use the same nested content types as the regular pages, instead of just a markdown container.

Netlify Identity. I finally looked at DeCapCMS and everything sounded great until discovering no way to post without user having GH account. For when you don't need a fancy posting UI.

As for #CMS I had 3 options, #TinaCMS, #PagesCMS and my current #DecapCMS. Tina was removed from the list because the self hosted version doesn’t support git backed media storage(weird). Yet to decide between Pages and Decap. Though one thing is clear I’ll be sticking to git backed CMS.

. fully local file editing is HUGE for me, probably the biggest reason i didn't use DecapCMS instead. i don't like adding the netlify OAuth dependency and all that entails, and i just wanted a workflow for my users to edit files locally and pass them into a pull request later.

I Finally got DecapCMS working alongside new site so everything should be organized now.
I Just need some interesting stuff to write about.
