potatron··on SiteCake: Tiny, simple, flat-file, drag and drop CMS
Well, my use case is neighbour/friend websites (I'm not really a web person, but I "do computers", so I get asked a lot). Buying a $3/month domain with PHP webspace, slapping this and some HTML on it and basically being done is simple for me. I mean, compared to a "real" CMS... YMMV, of course.

Maybe it broke; it's designed for small sites after all... sorry, I'm new to HN. I didn't realize it'd get that much exposure that quickly. :(

Basically you just mark out some <div> tags as class="sc-content", and they'll become drag&drop WYSIWYG editable. The changes get written right back into the file, so you don't need anything other than PHP 5.4 and write permissions. You can even remove the SiteCake file again, and your site will just keep working (as static HTML).

Just to be clear, I'm not the original author. It's just something I've been using with success for mom & pop style websites and felt it was underexposed for being so simple (and free to boot).
