I can’t remember the name, sorry, but the Netlify CMS was turned into a community project and lives in in the form. You can do some search and likely find it pretty quickly.
It’s this I think:
Hi @HugoCharly
I didn’t find an alternative so far: I’m still waiting for a clear statement from Netlify about the future of their CMS, hoping for a revival, and watching the development of Static CMS, hoping that a community gathers around this project.
Note that this recent post about Static CMS provides a precious insight

Yes the fork is nice BUT 
Is this project dead? - #67 by mmkal - Netlify CMS - Netlify Support Forums
It’s not improving upon what Neylify CMS is, it’s a tabula rasa kind of fork

Some good news on the Netlify CMS front. It’s being rebranded as Decap CMS and will be maintained by one of Netlify’s agency partners. Excited to see where this goes.

In case anyone is looking for a free and open source local CMS that runs on a Desktop, I created BuhoCMS (think of it as a GUI for Hugo) 
For those interested, here is my pitch in this forum: I created a GUI for Hugo static sites and would love your feedback: BuhoCMS

Switching from WordPress, planning to try buho thanks!
A fork of StackEdit is out: GitHub - mafgwo/stackedit-plus: In-browser Online Notebook
(I didn’t test it so far)
Missed all the previous notices from Forestry and realized it’s gone. Tried installing Tina, messed up my blog, had to revert to previous commits.
Not sure what I’m going to do here. The necessity of using these unreliable third-party CMSes is probably the worst thing about static blogs.

Hello @ymolodtsov,
Sorry to hear that you missed the notices from Forestry. The Forestry team sent out several email reminders and puts notices on the dashboard to ensure that users are aware of any changes or updates. You can join Tina’s Discord channel and post your issues there, they will help.
However, If you need assistance with migrating your blog from Forestry to another CMS, our team is available to help you with that. We’re Gethugothemes. We help businesses create websites with Hugo. We’ve already migrated many Hugo websites from Forestry to Tina and Cloudcanon cms.
Check our services.
Thanks.

Vrite.io is an open source headless CMS including Kanban dashbord, WYSIWYG editor, API and Webhooks.
I didn’t test it but it looks promising and actively developped:

Hi guys!
Creator of Vrite here. Happy to see it mentioned.
Vrite is a headless CMS focused on technical content and developer/user experience (with features like the Kanban, or integrated code editor and formatter).
It’s currently in Beta and I don’t have any guides or integrations for Hugo… for now.
For those looking into it, worth noting is that Vrite serves content in ProseMirror JSON, which is pretty versitile and can be processed easily to e.g. Markdown or HTML. The Vrite JS SDK provides a feature called “Content Transformers” to do so. Don’t know how easy it would be to bring this into Hugo, but you can check out the JS SDK code and try to adapt it.
Possibly the best way for integrating with Hugo will be the upcoming Git support. If you’re interested in this I shared some details here: git integration · vriteio/vrite · Discussion #15 · GitHub (feel free to add any ideas/thoughts you have to the discussion)
If you’re interested in the project, check out the repo (GitHub - vriteio/vrite: Open-source technical content platform) and let me know if you have any feedback. In the repo you’ll find links to:
- The standalone “demo” editor (no sign-in required)
- The hosted platform (free while in Beta)
Self-hosting is a bit difficult right now, but I’ll work on it as Vrite reaches the first stable release. Best to try the hosted, up-to-date version now and migrate later on, if you want to (will try to make that easy too).

I stumbled upon Keystatic, which is an open-source Git based CMS.
The project’s README says:
Conceived for modern front-end frameworks like Next.js, Remix and Astro
But the maintainer clarified that it can be used for other frameworks. Reference: Does “GitHub mode” mean it’s framework agnostic? · Thinkmill/keystatic · Discussion #686 · GitHub.

Another new CMS I recently found is Sveltia CMS which is similar to, and inspired by Decap CMS but built with Svelte rather than React:
Sveltia CMS is a Git-based lightweight headless CMS under development as a drop-in replacement for Netlify/Decap CMS. You can use it with any static site generator like SvelteKit, Eleventy, Next.js and Hugo to manage content as static files in a Git repository. The open source alternative to Netlify/Decap CMS is now in public beta — with more features to come.
The developer has UX background making good UX a priority. It already has a dark theme for example.
I haven’t tried it yet but it looks interesting and good to see another git based, open source CMS available.
Apparently you can try it easily on any Decap site by simply changing the script tag from the Decap CDN link to the Sveltia CMS one.
The developer also has a project to authenticate these CMS’s using Github: Sveltia CMS Auth. Netlify already has a good, easy to use Oauth system built in but if you want to use either of these two CMS’s elsewhere the setup is more involved. This project uses Cloudflare Workers (Cloudflare’s serverless functions) to make the setup easier. Again not tried this but it’s something I’m keeping an eye on.
