Progressively advanced CMS

[erlend-sh]

A tiny linksapp is an excellent way in to what can easily become a much larger CMS story along the lines of WordPress, Strapi, or even Pocketbase.

The linksapp approach facilitates a very gradual way into this bigger thing in a piecemeal manner.

On the local end commune-os/weird#7, we can engender ideas from the likes of Publii and Tina, but minimized down to linkspage size.

Looking towards the more distant future, maybe the best example of a modular, progressively enhanced, developer-centric CMS is Statamic:

Statamic 3 is built as a highly extendable, standalone capable, Laravel CMS package. If you’re already a Laravel developer, you’ll feel right at home extending core features with Models, Service Providers, and Middleware. You can even drop it into existing Laravel applications to add a full CMS in seconds. But you do not need to know Laravel or PHP to use Statamic.

Similar ideas exist in Primo, which combines the best of static and dynamic by relying on a database for fully integrated editing and authentication UX, but still exports to a static bundle that can be hosted practically anywhere.

Also Jekyll + SQLite.

Webflow’s complete product offering is instructive as a way to imagine the roadmap of feature highlights ahead in the really Big Picture:

Enterprise-ready vision: https://dri.es/a-composable-digital-experience-manifesto

A Composable Enterprise is an organization that can innovate and adapt to changing business needs through the assembly and combination of packaged business capabilities. To enable the Composable Enterprise, organizations will need to adapt the way they source and deliver applications as vendors deliver more modular capabilities.

After decades of contending with rigid, inflexible systems, enterprises crave the agility and speed that comes with composability.

This is particularly important in today's economy, where organizations gain competitive advantages based on having a tailored digital customer experience.

I predict that the majority of enterprises will have migrated to a composable model within the next 10 years.

The biggest issue with personal websites? Maintaining and updating them.

I've built websites for friends in the past, but most of them never had any content written. Now I ask people to write some content first and then build a website. Most of the time I never hear about it again because it's hard to write good articles and people (including myself before) tend to be too optimistic about how difficult it is.
