Developers Love Sveltia CMS

Spent the weekend building a no-cost, secure web site using Cloudflare Pages, GitHub, and Sveltia CMS. Vibe coded the entire thing. The content admins don’t need to know HTML to maintain it. I hadn’t built any new web hosting infrastructure in over a decade. Feeling accomplished! 🤩

Personally love blogging in markdown, but @mastrojs.bsky.social put me onto Sveltia, which is pretty nice if you want something more graphical.

I’m actually trying Sveltia CMS rn for some projects I need to tackle and the experience is being awesome so far, just yesterday they added reordering entries, the only thing I would want is typescript first support to get types and imports directly from collections but I’m loving it!

Among other things, I talk about how I’m using @sveltiacms.app as part of making the site work. Definitely recommended if others are looking for a simple cms.

Been testing and following Sveltia since a bit now, and I love it! Thanks for making it happen, and congratulation on the great tool and UX. There are thousands reasons decap/sveltia are my CMS of choice.

@britegrid.io nailed the core architecture, his improvements on top Decap CMS, and his ongoing attentiveness and care as a maintainer. best git-based CMS on the market, very grateful it’s available as open source software

ah! it’s published using Eleventy. The CMS (such as it is) is Sveltia, backed by Github, which works great on Netlify.

This is such a nice Git-based headless CMS, it’s truly amazing. I’m very impressed. A lot more customizable and performant than Decap, and it’s responsive on mobile. This might be what finally gets me to blog more often. 😁

mann, I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out oAuth with decap, but switching to sveltia seamlessly enabled me to use fine-grained PATs to log in, thank god

Happy to see @sveltiacms.app on Bluesky! At this point **the best** GIT based CMS I’ve come across, fantastic work by @britegrid.io 🥳

I plugged Sveltia CMS into dylanbeattie.net the other day. It’s AWESOME. It’s a standalone WYSIWYG editor built in JS Svelte that connects directly to GitHub. My website is still a static Jekyll site, everything is Markdown or HTML, all hosted free on GitHub Pages - but now it has a built-in editor.
