Static CMS
Git-based content management app for static sites, built as a single-page React application.
Static CMS is a content editor for sites whose content lives in a Git repository. It is a single-page React application added to the /admin folder of a site built with a static site generator. It can load from a CDN with one HTML file and a configuration file, or be bundled with npm. Its web interface includes rich-text editing, real-time previews and drag-and-drop media uploads, and the docs list GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gitea backends. It is a fork of Decap CMS, formerly Netlify CMS.
Worth knowing
The repository is archived. The README says the decision “was made to cease development” and names Decap CMS and Tina CMS as alternatives.
