Show HN: Wisp – Headless blog for Next.js 14
wispcms.com
Wisp takes fumbling with MDX, image upload and hosting away so you can focus on shipping!
A little background..
Started wisp to solve my own pain of adding blogs to my different projects. The idea was to make the experience of adding and editing blog posts Medium-like while having full flexibility around things like design, SEO, etc.
I've tried different CMS and many were too heavyweight for my "simple blog". On the other hand, markdown was annoying to deal with because I didn't like code changes to fix simple typos, or worse, colocating many images with code. Also, without a content middleware like contentlayer, simple things like pagination or sitemap becomes annoying to add.
One of my worse experience, which I'm still paying dearly for was using gatsby to generate my personal blog. After a couple of years, the project fail to build entirely due to unsupported node version and newer versions of gatsby has different APIs. It was an annoying experience to rework the code to let the blog build again.
It started with building an editor... and then image upload took me to add cloudflare image CDN... and then a small package to easily load the blogs... And then I thought about sharing it with the folks here and added multiple user accounts and teams!
Let me know your honest feedback, there's plenty of kinks to be ironed out tbh but I really love to know if this has legs.
