Https://backdropcms.org/ ? D7 fork. If you want to stay there. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Https://backdropcms.org was a fork of Drupal before the rewrite. It was pretty decent when I tried it (admittedly several years ago). Source: 10 months ago
I see you decided on Wordpress, if you were going to use a CMS I think Drupal 7 would have been a good choice. Drupal has concept of entities and views. An entity as the name suggests is essentially a table and you can add all sorts of different fields to it. From simple text and number fields to images and fields that lookup other entities thus creating relationships between entities. Views is another construct... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
I think some smaller biz and nonprofits jumped off to https://backdropcms.org. Source: over 1 year ago
Some might switch to Backdrop which is a project forked from D7. Some sites will probably just continue to run (technically unsupported) until someone shuts the server down. Source: over 1 year ago
Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
I've done similar with Middleman, and I'm 99% sure you could set this up with Pelican if you wanted. It sounds like the site generation workflow is the issue rather than the tool. Source: 11 months ago
I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2]. The reason I choose this setup is because I want the content to survive as much as possible, hence open source technology and "free & long lived" hosting were requirements.

Thanks u/Draegan88, but what's Middleman got to do with app architecture & design/ERD/schema design? Source: over 1 year ago
A simple middleman app consumes the data and builds a static export that runs standalone (just HTML, CSS and some JS files). That gets FTP'd/released to the webserver. Source: about 2 years ago
