primo VS ProcessWire

> Why is are all static site generators (that I am aware of) are CLI? What prevent simplistic drag and drop GUI/WYSIWYG that generates those clean static files?

Check:

- Tina CMS: https://tina.io/

- Primo CMS: https://primocms.org/

Anyway, you seem to be holding the wrong end of the stick. Static generation is the easy part, what you're looking for is a subset that falls under the CMS umbrella, just search for `CMS+SSG` you'll find a diverse set of solutions.

You can also setup any generic Headless CMS to trigger generation for a static site. Why would someone build a full fledged CMS and limit it to a niche market inside a niche?

The easiest thing would probably be Primo, you’ll just have to copy+paste your code in & write some Svelte to set up the content fields.

Check out Primo - it would let you hand the site off to a client so they could edit it & publish changes themselves and just rope you back in to make code updates

Check out Primo - it’s free & open source and they’ll be able to edit it afterwards easily.

Check out Primo it’s FOSS & easy for nontechnical content editors, but you won’t be able to use Hugo with it

Bottom one looks better. First one reminds me of ProcessWire.

ProcessWireProcessWire is a fantastic CMS/CMF (content management framework) and I think it is a good fit for your skills. Works with any front end CSS although my personal preference is UIkitUIkit.

Over the years I have tried different frameworks, mostly in PHP, like Code Igniter (2010), ProcessWire (2014) and Laravel (2015).

The idea of tons of 3rd-party plugins, with WordPress and also Drupal, is just disastrous for security.

Anyone with any ability to write a little PHP would be far far better off building their site in a CMS like ProcessWire [1], which has a very small core, but a extremely powerful content (PHP) API [2], which means you can replicate pretty much everything you have in Wordpress and Drupal with a few API calls in your templates.

This means you build your listing and presentation-logic custom made with the minimal amount of code needed, and the attack vector shrinks to pretty much nothing, as long as you don't voluntarily do something stupid.

It is incredibly rare that I see anyone mention ProcessWire. I used to use it years ago and still subscribe to regular emails. It is indeed a great CMS/CMF. https://processwire.com/

ProcessWire is one option.

Regardless of that, I'd like to throw in ProcessWire as an option. You basically define all your fields and templates you want to have in the admin, and then you create your templates. You can also use Page Classes to extend functions for a specific template. Your application sits in the "sites" folder and is separated from core. I'm running two websites with that one.

If you're a PHP user, check out ProcessWire.

I'm looking for a headless CMS solution that offers a good content editing strategy. I'm used to working with Statamic and Processwire, both of which allow you to create your own "Content blocks", which can be re-used by the editor / user and are set up in ways which allow you to define them.
