Forestry has been on my radar for a long time but never had a need to use it https://forestry.io/ The big draw for me is it’s just Hugo/Gatsby/Jekyll underneath, and the output files can be delivered anywhere that will host static files (CloudFlare pages does this really well, as does Netlify).

I’ve done this before using Forestry.io, though I’m sure there’s other similar solutions.

(Sorry. Bit late to the party) If you have github and don’t mind external services (for content management) you could look at this via https://forestry.io.

I’m curious what others have to say, but one way would be to use a platform like https://forestry.io.

Markdown is increasingly being used for software documentation, but you’ll also find it used in static site generators (SSGs) such as Hugo and Gatsby. SSGs combine Markdown with templates to make it easy to spin up a website with minimal effort. They integrate with headless content management system (CMS) providers such Forestry and automated deployment solutions such as Netlify that connect to cloud source…

It depends on the requirements, but this might actually call for a headless CMS like Forestry.io or Contentful coupled with a Static Site Generator like Hugo. The CMS will manage users/permissions/data hierarchy and provide a simple frontend for users to add content, lay out pages, etc. And then when they save a change, the SSG will re-run and render everything to static HTML/CSS/JS.

Https://adambennett.dev/ Mostly Android + Kotlin with a recent foray into interviewing, and I’d like to write about leadership/culture a bit more. I’ve gotten out of the habit of writing recently due to burnout but I’m starting to feel that motivation again. It’s a Hugo static site ontop of Firebase Hosting, and I just commit to GitHub and Actions builds and deploys the site for me. I recently started using…

Author here. Re: search. It’s not that site search is impossible, or even particularly hard, with a JAMstack site. It’s just that I didn’t consider it MVP for my personal site. I know how it can be done, and I’ll implement it when I have time. Re: CMS. I know where you’re coming from, I spent a good decade or so specialising in traditional CMSes / frameworks myself, mainly Drupal and Django. There are various…

If you do not need a “web app” and just want to build a landing page / basic website IMHO it’s a better idea to build a static website. You can use WordPress for this, too but there is alternatives like hugo which I prefer. If you lack the skills to build a site with hugo alone you can combine it with a headless CMS like forestry.

For the majority of the content, that is the words this will be fine, it gets a little harder when you need more complex styling. I’ve decided to trial forestry.io for a couple of reasons:.

There are several Git-based CMS options, like Forestry: https://forestry.io/ Note that these include editors that aren’t as good as a standalone editor but work fine for most content.

Forestry.io and contentful.com come to mind, though you’d still need to figure out way to sync their output into firebase (or just use both?). Worth reading more about the JAM Stack if you haven’t already, there’s some good resources on that site that might be an even better fit for you.
