Or have a look at https://frontaid.io/ if you want to store your content in a JSON file in your own Git repository.
FrontAid··on Pelican static site generator 4.5
Thanks. It seems that Pelican is very restrictive in what content structures it allows. Do you know whether it can work with arbitrary JSON structures somehow?
FrontAid··on Pelican static site generator 4.5
Does Pelican allow to use external content files that are not written in Markdown? I'd like to load content from a JSON file to enrich certain pages or even create whole site structures dynamically. I couldn't find anything related in neither the documentation nor the plugin repo.

edit: It seems one might be able to write a custom reader for that according to https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/internals.html#how-to-...

Our CMS for JSON files goes into a similar direction: https://frontaid.io/

If you are using any tool that stores its content in JSON, you can use https://frontaid.io/ for that. FrontAid is basically a CMS for JSON files. And based on that JSON content, you can then generate a static page or use it for whatever you want.

Changes to the casing might also change the value's length. E.g. uppercasing the German ß will transform it to SS. Example using JavaScript:

'ß'.toUpperCase(); // returns 'SS'

FrontAid··on Bjarne Stroustrup had his Reddit account suspended
I ran into the exact same situation. Have been trying to get in contact with their support for weeks without getting any response at all. This is absolutely ridiculous! (Yet at the same time they get "hacked" by teenagers and I can't help but to feel karma has been served...)

edit: Should anybody from Twitter read this, please unblock @FrontAid_CMS. (I guess it's worth a try...)

FrontAid··on Show HN: FrontAid – CMS for JSON Files in Git
Hi HN, OP here. FrontAid is similar to a decoupled headless CMS, but without the API. Instead, it stores your content directly to your own Git repository in a JSON file. That gives you all sorts of advantages like version control, content ownership, support for feature branches (soon), automation with hooks/CI/CD, easy data migration, etc.

To use FrontAid, you define a completely flexible data model in a JSON file using your IDE/editor. And thanks to JSON Schema, you can even use code completion and the model is validated on the fly. Commit that model to your Git repo and FrontAid will generate the forms to be filled in by a content editor accordingly. And when they save their changes, the JSON content file will be pushed to Git.

Criticism is highly appreciated. Thanks!

FrontAid··on Monitoring demystified: A guide for logging, tracing, metrics
Recently, I was searching for a service which offers those functionalities on a very basic level. I tried several options and was really disappointed with all of them. The only one that I found to be usable was https://logdna.com/. I've now been using it for a couple of weeks and it works OK. It offers logging, alerts, metrics/dashboards, and some other things. And all that for a reasonable pricing.

> Would love to find a magic Wordpress replacement with a proper git & tailwind supported workflow for devs and a simple interface for content editors.

Note sure whether that is similar to what you are looking for, but I've been working on a CMS that commits a JSON file to Git. It is called FrontAid CMS and currently in public beta: https://frontaid.io/

It works like this: Create a data model and put it in your Git repo. FrontAid will pick it up and generate input fields accordingly. The content editors can then create/update the input fields and the resulting content is then stored in a JSON file in your own Git repository. The big advantage of that is that your content lives where your actual code is.
