WonderCMS VS Typemill

poking at their .htaccess file on Github it appears to consist mostly of rewrite rules. You'd have to translate these into httpd.conf syntax for request rewrite (to rewrite the path into index.php?page=$DOCUMENT_URI), block the database.js & cache.json files, and pass-through static media files (any files that actually exist such as theme CSS files or images etc)

IMPORTANT: Any custom (non official) plugins you have installed will not be visible in your Themes / Plugins section until they are updated to include the new necessary wcms-modules.json file. Short documentation can be found: https://github.com/robiso/wondercms/wiki/Custom-modules

Typemill is an open-source, flat-file CMS for documentation, ebooks and websites. Features a visual markdown editor and lots of options for themes, plugins and templates. All content is stored in markdown files for easy downloading. Kindly recommended by TinPin94.

I'm trying to get away from a DB-based CMS for some company web sites. Static generators won't do for a number of reasons, so a flat-file CMS seems like a good fit.

Currently I'm looking at GravCMS [1] as an alternative. It's free initially, but it can become somewhat expensive with many official plugins. But it's file format is Markdown, and one can combine multiple files into a so-called modular page. It has a backend for editing, forms and e-mailing of form submissions. Seems perfect for small and mid-sized company web site.

Another option I considered was Kirby [2]. Its backend UI is configurable. That's nice in theory but the documentation is somewhat lacking, in my opinion. I've used the starterpack and it took me hours to find the one command to be able to add new pages. Its content format is also custom, not Markdown. Finally, it's €100 per site.

Also, a few days ago, I stumbled upon Typemill [3] which I will check next week.
