I’ve always liked the idea of Netlify CMS, to have some (statically deployed) JS that talks directly to GitHub/GitLab and provides a clean interface to edit the content that’s stored in Markdown files. There are many sites that don’t need much CMS functionality but for which you’d still like to provide a way for someone non-technical to update some content. Being able to do that while keeping all code and data in a single repository is pretty neat.<p>However, I’ve been hesitant to use Netlify CMS in any project because it appeared to be mostly abandoned for a long time now [1]. It remains to be seen whether “PM” will be able to revive the project as they are planning to [2]. An earlier fork [3] seems more promising to me at the moment.<p>[1]: <a href="https://answers.netlify.com/t/is-this-project-dead/70988" rel="nofollow">https://answers.netlify.com/t/is-this-project-dead/70988</a>
