I’d love to use some help with articles from a technical editor. Unfortunately, right now, to edit any article, you have to be familiar with Git, VS Code, and other tooling needed to commit into the site. No editor is going to have these skills.
To make editing articles easier for non-technical people, I’m thinking of setting up a CMS. A CMS would allow any person (who has credentials) to create or edit articles from a UI – without any coding.
Netlify CMS looks like a neat option, and it would be great to set it up for this. There’s a minor change Netlify CMS won’t cover all the use cases, and we’ll need to look for something else, but so far, it looks good.
Details
The CMS must support uploading images next to the markdown files:
content
|- link-rels
|- index.md
|- image.png
Otherwise, these images won‘t be optimized.
Netlify CMS supports this if we specify media_folder: ''. See the Gatsby guide
Let’s enable publish_mode: editorial_workflow as well. Otherwise, incomplete drafts will be published to master and published immediately
If you need to do anything in the Netlify account (where 3perf.com is hosted), just hit me up
