Show HN: FrontAid – CMS for JSON Files in Git

Hi HN, OP here. FrontAid is similar to a decoupled headless CMS, but without the API. Instead, it stores your content directly to your own Git repository in a JSON file. That gives you all sorts of advantages like version control, content ownership, support for feature branches (soon), automation with hooks&#x2F;CI&#x2F;CD, easy data migration, etc.<p>To use FrontAid, you define a completely flexible data model in a JSON file using your IDE&#x2F;editor. And thanks to JSON Schema, you can even use code completion and the model is validated on the fly. Commit that model to your Git repo and FrontAid will generate the forms to be filled in by a content editor accordingly. And when they save their changes, the JSON content file will be pushed to Git.<p>Criticism is highly appreciated. Thanks!
