Woorking with mostly go & JS i am interested in CMSes that fit better into a more modern world.
Except Ghost, can you guys recommend any?
- CraftCMS (PHP): https://craftcms.com/
- Kirby (PHP): https://getkirby.com/
- Statamic (PHP): https://statamic.com/
- October (PHP, Open Source): https://octobercms.com/
- Bolt (PHP, Open Source): https://boltcms.io/
- Wagtail (Python, Open Source): https://wagtail.io/
The main pain point that drives me nuts is the page tree structure. For Wordpress users, the custom post type capability is extremely valuable but it really does not fit well at all into Wagtail.
I personally love the simplicity and stability of Jekyll + git + good organization.
You can’t go wrong with a Wordpress API sitting behind a whitelisted VPN with a single GraphQL resource exposed to plug into your clients. They’ve done a good job of modernizing their platform IMO, and you get the added benefit of almost every editor/writer/marketer already being familiar with the WP dashboard UX.
Having migrated from WP to Jekyll only to go back in the last ten years, I learned Wordpress (and Drupal, etc ) exist for a reason. They’re well understood by a large community of non technical marketing, PR, and other content professionals. So in the end if it’s more than for your own blog or a handful of devs, “modern tech stack” isn’t the main consideration.
Not to dissuade you—I’m curious myself if there are more modern WP competitors out there to help the non technical audience.
