#cloudcannon — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

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
