Possible ways to edit the content with NICE GUI instead of a file!! (Suggestions)

I am thinking of adding a git-based CMS.

Possible solutions -

https://www.netlifycms.org/ (we are already using netlify for deployment)
https://tina.io/
https://getpublii.com/ (I Like this)
https://forestry.io/
Create our own Dashboard (/edit) with our schema for content and save that to a local JS File or something and disable that in production.

@Aryan3212, If you have any other better approach to tackle this. would love to hear from you.

Hi Chetan, I was thinking that people would like to have a copy of their own data on their machines. The current way of serving posts helps achieve that. Using a 3rd party to host that data takes that away. We could create our own dashboard and exclude it from our build in production(somehow) but that will take some time to do.

It totally, make sense. I think having a dashboard makes more sense to edit the data. in another way, I think people using this template will be mostly developers and they will be already aware to change the data through code. not sure if we should do this.

Hi couldn't check Github for a few days. Have you decided what you want to work on? If you're making a dashboard I would love to help you with it.

No Worries! Yeah, I am still finding time to do it. Sure, I would love to have help!

For Now, I am thinking of a tabular dashboard with different sections having different text fields to edit. but need to do some type checking for those fields (maybe adding typescript in the future)
