No CMS? Writing Our Blog in React
I'm currently facing the same problem - adding a blog to a Rails app.
I thought Sitepress looks interesting, as its supposed to integrate with Rails. Have you given that one a try?

The theory versus the practice of āstatic websitesā
Iāve been down this path enough times that I built https://sitepress.cc/, which lets you embed content in a rails app with features that are present in Jekyll, Middleman, etc. like Frontmatter, site hierarchy traversal, etc. It keeps content as files in the app/content directory, but when itās time to pull data in from the Rails app for SEO, itās all right there in the Rails app. Thereās no āHeadless CMSā crap to jump through.
For me, this is another way of keeping everything in a monolith, and which requires a lot less context switching. If Iām building a feature and I want to create marketing or support content for it, itās all right there in the same repo. I just create the markdown files I need, commit them to the repo, and Iām don.
The thought of switching between a static content site or something like Webflow just seems silly. I think they only makes sense for huge teams.

Rails with Middleman for static content?
In case you want something like Middleman (frontmatter, static compilation, ...), but embedable in your Rails app, Sitepress is really cool solution (you can even run it without Rails!): https://sitepress.cc

Ask HN: Who's using Ruby web development without Ruby on Rails (RoR)?
I went the opposite direction and built a static site generator on top of Rails: https://sitepress.cc/
Turns out, Rails is a really good web framework! I tried building Sitepress on something ālight weightā, Tilt and Rack, and it was a pain. I found myself constantly solving the same problems that were already solved in Rails. At some point it dawned on me that I could just build on top of a few parts of Rails, so I did. I wrote about it at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/single-file-rails-app/
Iām glad I did! Now I can plug all of the Rails template handlers, view components, and other Rails plugins into it and ride off that entire communities docs.
If you find yourself thinking, ārails is too heavyā, consider shedding the parts of Rails that you donāt need. Then as your application grows in complexity and you find yourself needing more parts of Rails, bring it back in.

Single File Rails Apps
As I was building Sitepress (a site generator like Middleman, Jekyll, & Bridgetown), I stumbled into the idea that a Rails application can exist in a single file and wrote about it at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/single-file-rails-app/.

Show HN: I made a CMS that uses Git to store your data
Agreed. I built https://sitepress.cc/ that uses git + files to manage content in Rails, but it needs an editor.
Iām not sure if the right thing to do is build a web editor or smooth out git workflows so that non-technical people can open content files with desktop software to make changes to the content.

State of the Web: Static Site Generators
I created https://sitepress.cc/ because you can have both! It can run a dynamic content site from a Rails app or it can compile out pages that can be deployed to any static website host.
It doesnāt have a front end for authoring pages, styles, etc, but that could be built on top of this library.

RIP Jekyll (The Genesis of the Jamstack)
I was using Middleman for a while, but then grew tired of all the dependencies I had to always keep up-to-date. I did the completely illogical thing and built my own static site generator, https://sitepress.cc/
A few years later and I ended up deleting most of it and replacing the internals with Rails. Now Sitepress is just a tiny rails application sitting on top of a bunch of files. Most of the maintenance and dependencies are handled by major Rails lib maintainers.
When you deploy it, you can compile it into static files and deploy as youād expect, but you can also deploy it as a rails or rack app ā¦ or even embed it into an existing rails app.
When Rails 7.0 gets released Iāll drop JS importmaps into the default install for free and have my dream static site generator that doesnāt have a huge asset compilation step.

Prismic.io is increasing our price by *1900%* over Christmas
I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Looking for a (primarily) WYSIWYG platform to build a MySQL interface.
Have you looked at Directus? Iām not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if Iāve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins donāt need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
