  • astro

    The web framework for content-driven websites. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

    • Works with vue: https://github.com/withastro/astro/tree/main/packages/integrations/vue

  • VuePress

    📝 Minimalistic Vue-powered static site generator

    • Also, I can't find a good static site generator. VuePress(v1) or Gridsome isn't updated anymore, I had some problems developing. Nuxt 3 looks very good but it is still in beta(Had a lot of problems).Do you have any you can suggest? Looking here, other solutions don't appeal to me neither. I am thinking of VuePress Next(still beta but looks good. Tell me if you tested and think that they are production ready) or Vite static deploy.

  • payload

    The best way to build a modern backend + admin UI. No black magic, all TypeScript, and fully open-source, Payload is both an app framework and a headless CMS.

    • I did use Strapi and Nuxt to build a (small) SSG Website. You probably can't really go wrong with any of these CMS though, but it always dependens on your use case. Directus is a lot closer to your database, so you can already use data from it i think. Strapi uses their own schema how it saves stuff. Another good CMS that I've tried and is also self hosted and nodejs is https://payloadcms.com/
