But what if I tell you that there is a CMS that will transform your Visual Studio Code into a proper CMS with content and media management, taxonomies, and more? Say hello to Front Matter CMS.

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.

Frontmatter

Have you looked at https://frontmatter.codes/ as a CMS in VSCode? It's really nice to work with for Hugo sites.

> 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
