WordPress, Joomla and Drupal Are Not the Best CMS

Has anyone used keystone.js? I am looking for a developer(node/js) friendly CMS.

Ghost is a good idea, but its a blogging platform...and we all know you shouldn't turn a blog into an ecommerce site.

I want something that has users and authentication, but a non-technical person could maybe have an admin to edit content or drop widgets.

I was wondering the same thing. I stumbled upon Keystone this weekend and it's the one that looks the most promising. Only cons is mongodb, it's lacking per template custom fields, and is not very designer-friendly.

I have in mind a straightforward CMS in Node/Express and Postgres, that would combine some ideas of Wordpress's Page/Posts and Taxonomies, and the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

The whole schema would be defined by the theme, and each template could provide its own custom fields, with no admin-side configuration. And the CSS classes would be scoped to the template in order to avoid conflicts.

I'm no strong developer, so would probably need collaborators to help me out.
