   Pages CMS – A CMS for GitHub▲351

   In a nutshell: 1. You log in with your GitHub account. 2. You select the GitHub repo where your site/app is at (whether it's Next.js, 11ty, Hugo, Nuxt... as long as you're using flat files for content). 3. You add a single config file to your repo to define the content types and other settings (e.g. media folder). 4. Congrats: you now have a user friendly CMS to manage content + media BUT all changes are still tracked like regular commits (under your account) on GitHub. I started using Jekyll around 2009 and over the course of the past 10+ years, I've helped build major sites and tiny…

    Foundry: a Markdown-first CMS written in Go▲31

    Hi HN! I've been building a CMS called Foundry, brought together from multiple smaller private projects as well as greenfield code. The short version is: it's a CMS written in Go with a focus on markdown content, a simple hook-based plugin model, themes, archetypes, preview flows, and a clean authoring/developer experience. I started working on it because I wanted something that was more powerful than Hugo for a few of my websites, without having to resort to dangling onto a database. What seems different about it, at least to me, is that I'm trying to keep the system small in concept:…

    Minimal MCP server in Go showcasing project architecture▲83

    I'm relatively new to Go, but recently got interested in how MCP servers work. I started thinking about what the architecture of such a project might look like, and decided to build a minimalist version as an experiment. I based it on my past experience writing regular REST API servers and figured it might be useful or interesting to others as well.

    Go Micro – A distributed systems development framework▲115

    I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.
