What it does

Trusted for 13+ years, Siteleaf is a content management system designed for actual humans. Invite your client or team to create and edit content. Set them as Admin, Publisher, or Writer. Preview changes before they go live. Then publish with one click whenever you’re ready. Choose between a visual editor or just plain Markdown. Drag and drop images or even entire text files. Customize your site with document collections, advanced metadata, and custom permalinks. Siteleaf is compatible with Jekyll , the static site generator for over a million websites running on GitHub Pages. Benefit from a large open source community. Use any existing Jekyll theme, or write your own using Liquid and all…from siteleaf.com

    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…

    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.
