    I've been trying to build a tool that solves that niche problemset of facilitating the edit flow of a dev blog.

    I liked Forestry, but wanted something that was embedded directly into my website, so I built Penmark CMS https://penmark.appsinprogress.com/. Inspired by utteranc.es, it uses the GitHub API to make edits directly to your repo. It's definitely a simple CMS but I'm liking it to write for my own blog!

  • Penmark: An embeddable CMS for Markdown-based static sites

    Hi HN,

    I've always found editing my blog via desktop editors to be inconvenient, especially when it came to keeping the repository in sync and trying to edit on the go, and relying on an external CMS or tools like the now-discontinued Forestry.io was complex to setup for simple cases and spread my website & workflow over multiple different apps. Around the same time, I discovered utterances [1] on here, a comments widget backed by GitHub for your website. Inspired by that project, I decided to build Penmark.

    Penmark is an embeddable CMS for your Markdown-based, GitHub-backed sites. Penmark can be embedded directly into your website, allowing you to access a rich text CMS editing experience without external tools, and while keeping all your site's content in your repository.

    It's simple to setup, embed the 3 components (Login, Drafts, Edit Post) that create the CMS experience within your site and add the GitHub app to your repository.

    Once you've set it up on your site/repo, you can edit directly from your site, on the go and from any device, and let Penmark take care of all the operations needed to keep your site and repository in sync.

    If you want to check it out, the code is open source on GitHub https://github.com/penmark-cms/penmark and I made a docs site to explain how to add it https://penmark.appsinprogress.com/
