I Found Perfect CMS after Years of Trial and Error

1

Resend

Setting up self-hosted Pages CMS looks like complex task since it has many moving parts, but their docs are amazing and provide follow-along instructions to set everything up. The entire setup was made with developers in mind, as it recommends Resend and Turso, both Cloud applications that provide free tiers.

Payload CMS

Payload, a CMS powered by Next.js, or Sveltia CMS, a Decap CMS alternative using Svelte, are examples of CMS that I recommend to avoid until they become framework agnostic.

Pages CMS

Considering all of the above, the best CMS is Pages CMS, a modern Git-based CMS with a focus on static sites. With a single configuration file, in matter of minutes, it allows you to manage your content and its media files through an intuitive UI. Pages CMS support all collaboration features you or your client might need including MagicURL login, history of changes, and more. It comes with a responsive design to let your client do changes from their phone.

Outstatic

Until now, my favourite CMS was Outstatic, a CMS for Next.js applications. It's fully open source project that can be self-hosted, and focuses on keeping your data inside your git repository. It's simple-looking interface is amazing for any small CMS, and AI integration for text generation can be a great plus for some projects.

Linktree

As with any CMS I come across, I try to use it with an application. This time I decided to use Astrolink, a minimal alternative to Linktree. You can check it out on a demo page, or see it's details in Astro theme catalog.

Hygraph

Sanity, Contentful, and Hygraph are a few examples. Very often a CMS has a pricing page, but is also open-source, and has docs on how to self-host it for free. A great example of that is Directus, and there is no need to avoid those CMS.
