• Show HN: Self-hosted CMS on Cloudflare for podcast/blog/images/videos/docs/URLs

  Forestry has been on my radar for a long time but never had a need to use it https://forestry.io/ The big draw for me is it's just Hugo/Gatsby/Jekyll underneath, and the output files can be delivered anywhere that will host static files (CloudFlare pages does this really well, as does Netlify). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Looking to Create a Wordpress Style Website with Python / Flask

  It depends on the requirements, but this might actually call for a headless CMS like Forestry.io or Contentful coupled with a Static Site Generator like Hugo. The CMS will manage users/permissions/data hierarchy and provide a simple frontend for users to add content, lay out pages, etc. And then when they save a change, the SSG will re-run and render everything to static HTML/CSS/JS.

  Author here. Re: search. It's not that site search is impossible, or even particularly hard, with a JAMstack site. It's just that I didn't consider it MVP for my personal site. I know how it can be done, and I'll implement it when I have time. Re: CMS. I know where you're coming from, I spent a good decade or so specialising in traditional CMSes / frameworks myself, mainly Drupal and Django.

• What is your preferred website builder and why?

  If you do not need a "web app" and just want to build a landing page / basic website IMHO it's a better idea to build a static website. You can use Wordpress for this, too but there is alternatives like hugo which I prefer. If you lack the skills to build a site with hugo alone you can combine it with a headless CMS like forestry.

  Forestry.io and contentful.com come to mind, though you'd still need to figure out way to sync their output into firebase (or just use both?).
