This is a project I would love to see revived!
Two things I’m thinking about (but will probably have no time to make real):
Get in touch with the dev of StackEdit Pro and ask him to release the source-code of his improvements in case he wants to give up this project.
I was looking at Cloudcannon and the feature set compared to Netlify seems… really poor for the same price point. They do offer a Personal (free) version but if it’s even more limited than the Standard (first tier paid) version then I can’t imagine what is left to do. Their CMS (cloudcannon) does look incredible but the value proposition compared to Netlify seems very poor. I haven’t looked deep into Netlify CMS and the last time i played with it was 4ish years ago.
Hey @gaetawoo, CloudCannon cofounder here. Thanks for checking it out! Keen to dig into what you’re see as limited in the feature set, maybe I can address your concerns
I was a Forestry user, currently trying Tina (the non-React-based SSG support version) and there is a lot I like about it but I’m very much open to looking into other options given the cost implications.
I’ve just started looking at CloudCannon purely from having noticed it mentioned here. My initial impressions are very good but something simple like ‘Menus’ I can’t seem to figure out.
Forestry had Menus but Tina doesn’t yet or the experimental version I’ve been trying certainly doesn’t. I found Menus in Forestry really handy especially if you wanted to re-order a menu item having the GUI just to be able to drag the order kept it really simple.To me it seems like a feature that would be fundamental to any CMS.
If the editing for any of my Hugo sites will be done by a developer (or me) then I’m going to use Front Matter for a while.
How are other people handling Menus? Tasks like re-ordering menu items or adding/editing menu items is something I feel a CMS user will expect to be able to do if they have a content managed website.
You could use the built in Hugo navigation if you’re populating it from the front matter. From a developer’s perspective, I’m a big fan doing it this way. From the editors perspective, we find it requires too much context to comprehend.
This basically says anywhere I’m using a menu key in front matter, make it an array which editors can add two different types of items to. Either a “Item” which has a name and link or a “Nest” which has a title and another menu. So you can have infinite nesting with this method.
This is very interesting stuff. I’ll need to have a thorough read of the docs especially the configuration stuff but I really like what I see here. Thanks
The situp on Cloudcannon seems really easy. Can I situp on my own server because it appears that there is a verndor lock hosting on your platform? I wonder if I use Hugo, which is open and builds everything, why should I get myself locked in with Cloud Cannon instead of using the open netlify cms? I think the ease of situp is the pro here.
While we do provide top-tier hosting, it is completely optional. CloudCannon is a Git-based CMS so all the content changes push back to your Git repository making it seamless to host on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or wherever you’d like really.
We also have a feature called Outputs which makes it easy to host on your own infrastructure. With Outputs, when we build your Hugo site, we commit the static output to a branch in your repo. That means you don’t need to run the Hugo build again for your own server, you can just copy the static site straight from your repo.
As for vendor lock-in, we do everything we can to minimize this. Our goal is for you to use CloudCannon because it’s the best CMS rather than being forced to use it because you’re locked in:
Configuration lives in a CloudCannon specific file which can be removed if switching to another CMS.
Our component system, Bookshop is open-source and can be used independently of CloudCannon. It’s also not a requirement to use CloudCannon but it does enable a pretty cool editing experience.
You own your content and website, it lives in your Git repository. You can stop using CloudCannon at any point without having to do any sort of export.
Is there a page that tells us what’s included? I couldn’t find anything on the pricing page.
Also, I’m assuming the Outputs feature is optional for hosting externally? My host handles the building of my site and I don’t want to commit my public files to source control. For Hugo this is especially important because you have to delete it after every build to avoid conflicts with previous ones.
It’s something we’re experimenting with, you can find it in your account settings. Basically has no sharing but lets you try out the editing experience.
Correct on outputs, it’s an optional feature for hosting externally. It commits the build version of your site to a branch of your choosing so you don’t need to do another build on your own infrastructure. If you have your own build pipeline you don’t need it. CloudCannon is a git-based CMS and all your changes will save back to your repo, so it’ll just work with your existing build pipeline, no extra configuration necessary.
I was using Google Cloud at first (Firebase hosting to be precise) (not bad and they have a free tier)
I tried Forestry for the CMS flavor (not bad either)
Now, I have switched to Netlify, the experience is really smooth and I recommend it !
It builds automatically your site after every git push. Really easy and fast.
I hope it’s okay to revive this topic as it’s general discussion.
I just read that the development of Netlify CMS is somewhat dead and it’s a tool i very much like for its simplicity and flexibility. So i worry for my client websites in production using the CMS.
My question is : have you heard of other open source CMS projects that could take the place of Netlify CMS ? @iaeiou you seem to be knowledgeable on this matter, so i’m allowing myself to mention you, do you have some opinion about it, what do you use currently ? I’m scouring the internet for info.
So far my searches leaded me there :
• TinaCMS, child of the retiring forestry • Free for 2 users per project
• CloudCannon • Paid (looks cool though)
• Publii • Free (need to install an app, has anyone tried that ?)
• Stackbit • Free for one user (defeats the purpose of a CMS to me)
• Contentful • Free for 5 users (but is a big machine not a lightweight CMS)
This jamstack.org page regroups a lot of options, but i’m eager to hear some hugo oriented opinion on the subject, hence this post. Anyone, feel free to chime in.

You can take a look at https://frontmatter.codes. It is great for personal projects. For big commercial projects I would choose Directus.
