Project mention: How to Build an AI FAQ System with Strapi, LangChain & OpenAI | dev.to | 2024-04-21Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.
Diversifying a lot. Next acquisition will be Ghost(https://ghost.org/) I bet. Similar DNA, fits in the portfolio (If they are trying to match the feature set of Google) and have no VC backing.
Project mention: How to Deploy Directus as a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) on Koyeb | dev.to | 2024-04-25Directus is an open data platform built to serve as a headless CMS, API, or Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for other applications.

Project mention: Best way to build a modern back end and admin UI. No black magic | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21
Following one of the comments in this thread I reviewed two other products in this space - https://www.staticcms.org/ and https://decapcms.org/ - and it looks like the webpages are almost a direct copy of one another, one in dark mode and one in light mode.
I'm a technical product marketer, and I find these type of landing page copying amusing to no end.
Webiny- Open-source enterprise-grade serverless CMS. Own your data. Scale effortlessly. Customize everything.
Project mention: Introducing GPT Crawler - Turn Any Site Into a Custom GPT With Just a URL | dev.to | 2023-12-21I created my first custom GPT based on the Builder.io docs site, forum, and example projects on github and it can now answer detailed questions with code snippets about integrating Builder.io into your site or app. You can try it here (currently requires a paid ChatGPT plan).
Project mention: How "static" are the Azure storage websites and can a basic CMS be used with it? | /r/AZURE | 2023-07-06Hmm...I just tried https://getcockpit.com/, which looks like a super lightweight CMS and PHP doesn't seem to work.
Project mention: A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev | dev.to | 2024-02-05Plasmic - A fast, easy-to-use, robust web design tool and page builder that integrates into your codebase. Build responsive pages or complex components; optionally extend with code; and publish to production sites and apps.
Since you're asking for PHP, it sounds like you want a framework to build your site with, and to manage content. There's Twill based on Laravel, or Ghost and Wordpress if you want tools in that space.
Project mention: Ask HN: What is new in Algorithms / Data Structures these days? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-10How about some succinct data structures and delta encoding for modern databases [1]. Succinct data structures are a family of data structures which are close in size to the information theoretic minimum representation (while still being queryable).
[1] https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb/blob/dev/docs/white...
$asset-path has been deprecated. Use $app-css-relative-asset-path instead, which is relative to the app.css that points to the asset folder. As a side effect, the fonts are now loaded from the theme folder instead of the bundle asset folder. This should work out of the box, because all assets of the theme are also copied into the theme folder. (UPGRADE-6.4.md)
These reasons (and many others) are why I decided to create Vrite - an open-source developer content platform.
Yeah, in hindsight, we would have used Next/Vercel. So we're tactically moving over to that. There are many new frameworks, like Astro, that are really exciting, but it seems like Next is the best choice if you have a data-heavy app that has a dynamic mix of SSR and static pages. For Wordpress in particular, I'd recommend that you check out Faust.js. It's build with Next and I'm amazed by how well it works with Wordpress without much effort: https://faustjs.org/
Project mention: Show HN: Primo – a visual CMS with Svelte blocks, a code editor, and SSG | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-21Not sure if this is what you’re after but give https://getkirby.com/ a try
