Netlify CMS still supported?

BryanQuigley opened this issue · comments

Unfortunately I just came across this post.

I had come across some basic bugs with adding netlify-CMS support to the jkan docker compose. I'm kind of assuming a community would form around it though....

This may be a moot point as netlify-cms has free hosting and others don't. And it should keep working..

Given this and our comfort just using other editors, we will be focusing on non-CMS changes.

For local dev switching to jeykll-admin seemed trivial - but rough for editing.

Ah, yeah, looks like that post was made after we started development. As you say, though, there don't seem to be any free and open source alternatives that quite do the job. I agree, though, that the features we need are complete. For me, the big thing is that we've decoupled the editing experience. We could always swap the editor (or even add one) in the future.

Not sure what you meant by this?

Netlify CMS is back from the dead 🥳 and is rebranded to Decap CMS. Read more at Netlify blog or Decap blog

That's great to hear, @martinjagodic! Thanks for letting us know. Heck of a name you've chosen! Real commitment to the 'headless' concept 😆
