• Xanadu Was Waiting for Agents

  Interesting. This and the other posts I've seen about Delta seems to exist in that liminal space, were it's difficult to tell if the author has had a brilliant insight, that they struggle to convey to anyone who's not yet had the same insight; or if they've simply gone slightly mad. It's a similar sense I get with reading Nelson (after being able to think about his ideas for a while, I'm quite certain it was... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Free static site generator for small restaurants and cafes

  Frontmatter CMS is a VSCodium plugin that works as a somewhat user-friendly CMS for the likes of Hugo. https://frontmatter.codes/ I set it up for my brother to run his static blog, and it's quite good if you like that kind of thing. There are some quirks where it gets confused if you rename mycoolarticle.md, so I still prefer using notepad++ and git and CLI for mine. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Show HN: PRSS Site Creator – Create Blogs and Websites from Your Desktop

  An alternative, if you already use your own static site generator (SSG) like Hugo, is Frontmatter (https://frontmatter.codes/), a VSCode(ium) plugin that gives you a CMS/Content Management System over your SSG. Similar use case to PRSS. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Day 5: For all blogging matters ✍️

• SSG's have become boring technology

  One of the nicest things about static site generators is that Github is offering a fully integrated solution for free. They manage your files using Git, will build your website using ANY static site generator with Github Actions, and allow you to host the output on Github Pages. When you use Frontmatter.codes in Visual Studio Code you will even get a fully featured (and free) CMS. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Different flavors of content management

  But, when your CMS is based on Markdown files, you can use whatever editor you want. For example, if you use Nuxt as your CMS, everyone can choose which editor they prefer. It can be Visual Studio Code, FrontMatter CMS, or maybe Nuxt Studio. Everyone can pick the app they like the most. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• What is the best content management system (CMS) for hugo ?

  Use GitLab Web IDE and learn Markdown. It is free, open source and the mobile experience is decent. From there, take a look at https://frontmatter.codes/ in GitPod.io or locally in VSCode, not great on mobile but very powerful, free and open source. I also like https://cloudcannon.com which isn't free or open source, but it is an excellent live editing CMS for Hugo and the mobile experience is really nice. Source: almost 4 years ago

• What are the weirdest CMS you've seen used to host content?

  As it turns out VSCode can be insanely powerful if one sets it up carefully. The Front Matter extension can be enough in itself to manage a blog. The power tools extension can do useful stuff, like it can copy the formatted path of a changed image to clipboard which allows the client to just copy an image to a folder and press ctrl+v anywhere in a markdown file to paste the image there in markdown format.
