Project mention: Easiest, Free, and Customizable Blogging Platform in 2022? | reddit.com/r/freelanceWriters | 2022-01-24
I really like Ghost - it's simple and easy to setup, you get quite a few design options, the writing experience is similar to Medium, and although it's not free, it's not outrageously expensive. There's absolutely no coding needed.
-
OPS

-
Netlify CMS + Flatbread work great together with SvelteKit. I use that combo for most of my freelance work for small businesses.
-
Cockpit
Add content management functionality to any site - plug & play / headless / api-first CMS (by agentejo)
Project mention: Possible to make a website backend with only python? | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2022-01-10Well aside from all the PHP-based CMSes that have built in headless capabilities (WordPress, Drupal, etc), you have some hybrid ones like Craft CMS and Statamic and then some full headless ones like Cockpit.
-
ApostropheCMS
Apostrophe is a full-featured, open-source CMS built with Node.js that empowers organizations by combining in-context editing and headless architecture in a full-stack JS environment.
Project mention: Do you know a good website builder like wordpress but in javascript or typescript ? | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2022-01-13Check https://apostrophecms.com/.
-
jekyll-admin
A Jekyll plugin that provides users with a traditional CMS-style graphical interface to author content and administer Jekyll sites.
Netlify CMS is nice, and despite the name it works completely independenly of using Netlify as the host: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/intro/ I won't lie though it is very akward to setup and use if you aren't using Netlify--documentation is extremely thin, and it's a beta phase feature to selfhost. But it is a really nice and simple editor view that non-technical people could use. This is where the (very thin) documentation for it starts: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#working-with-...
Another good one is Jekyll Admin: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin It's not as nice as wordpress but gets the job done for a basic markdown focused site. Selfhosting it is a lot easier and more documented than Netlify CMS.
-
Orchard
Orchard is a free, open source, community-focused Content Management System built on the ASP.NET MVC platform.
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

-
Camaleon CMS
Camaleon CMS is a dynamic and advanced content management system based on Ruby on Rails
If you want a WordPress like experience, but still stay in Rails-land, there is always camaleon-cms. I've not used it for a couple of years, but remember being quite impressed with it back in the day. It claims to support SEO-related features, sitemaps, etc.

Currently, my blog is hosted using Heroku (and there is a nasty, dirty hack I'm using/co-developing: https://github.com/SNathJr/ghost-on-heroku). But it was only ever a temporary stopgap, as updating and testing it is a real pain in the ass (I have to update the code, and the only way to test it is to spin it up for real, and everyone wants you to do tech support for them while no one wants to contribute).
