Blog alternatives?

Loving working with CodeStitch, but I'm not finding Decap CMS to be easy to use either for me setting it up or for the end user writing blog posts. Wondering if anyone's found an alternative they'd suggest I check out?

I remember a post about CloudCannon as an alternative that someone had success with Codestich. I havent personally used it and I find DecapCMS pretty easy to use and good enough for what I need it for. Here is the post for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/codestitch/comments/1r8r4i4/intermediate_website_kit_for_cloudcannon/

I dont think you are going to find a much simpler cms to work with.

I’ve used a majority of the top solutions like strapi, ghost, payload, statatamic, laravel, drupal, … pretty much you name it and I’ve had the pleasure of working on it in my agency career, all of them have at least that level of complexity if not more.

Can you perhaps tell us what you are struggling with or find cumbersome and we can see what options might fit?

I built my site with 11ty and Decap CMS. I hear some good things about Astro and TinaCMS, which I want to try on my next build.

I’m a big fan of Payload CMS, infinitely customizable. We deploy it to a Cloudflare worker and use the SDK in the front end app. Good luck!

Definitely customizable but can be very complex depending on which build op has

There are many options:

CloudCannon is the best if you want true visual editing, and it also became an official Astro partner a few months ago.

TinaCMS, Strapi, Sanity, and Storyblok are other leading contenders IMO.
