I love the Netlify-CMS approach, but is still too opaque to me. I wanted to get a better understanding of what was going on in the repo, so I wrote https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas

I have looked at it and don't remember why I didn't end up using it. Perhaps due to my ignorance, I have probably thought it wasn't capable of outputting Markdown seamlessly, and that was really necessary for https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas/.

I love CodeMirror and like very much the content of the Marijn's blog posts I've read, but I must say ProseMirror is a nightmare to work with. I guess the problem is that there is too much customization options, no sane defaults, no understandable tutorials, many different overlapping API and documentation versions. I've tried a lot to get it working for https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas and only managed to make it work by copying running code from one of the demos, ignoring all customization and working myself around the editor to provide the custom functions I needed. I may be totally wrong here, but I'm trying to be sincere about my experience.

I've been experimenting with hosting the site content on GitHub, creating and editing posts with https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas and auto-publishing with https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages/

Or you could use my https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas

Yes, the desktop version of github highlights common licenses: https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas/blob/master/LICENSE

I read a lot about DodgerCMS right now, then I discovered it did client-site rendering. Not that this is a bad thing, but it makes the job of implementing a site like this so much easier that I got angry. Now I don't know if Tumbless does everything client-side too. I guess the other way is way too hard (recompiling everything every time, finding what to recompile etc.), like I tried to do and failed with https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas

Totally forgot about my own experiment: I created this GitHub-based (somewhat similar to GitBack) blogging platform: https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas and started my blog and my girlfriend's on it. The development of the tool proved to be complicated and I wouldn't be able to maintain it, but I have managed to migrate my blog to Jekyll and my girlfriend's to https://websitesfortrello.com/, keeping content and URLs. Thanks to me, the internet is a better place. You can stop clapping now.

Some time ago I wrote Coisas[1], which is somewhat like this, but with Markdown and YAML Front Matter and not so much visual appeal as Hubpress. Anyway, it is a nice thing, runs in your browser and publishes to GitHub Pages. Small and modular codebase, you can fork and modify it easily. [1]: https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas
