Pages CMS – A CMS for GitHub

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…

In plain words

Pages CMS is a content management system for static site generators like Next.js, Hugo, 11ty, and Nuxt. Users log in with their GitHub account, select their repository, and add a configuration file to define content types and settings. The system provides a user-friendly interface for managing content and media while preserving all changes as regular Git commits. It's designed for developers and teams who want to maintain version control workflows without requiring non-technical users to edit files directly.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
