What CMS do you use?
I'm gathering some ideas for a new project. If you're using a CMS as part of your tech stack, which one are you using? Do you like it, and if so why?

If I had to use a CMS it would be payloadcms or sanity.
But really I just use markdown files with the astro framework. I push content from obsidian to github.

It's depends, in my case for blogs always WordPress!
and for no blogs sometimes also use 😂
+1 on Ghost and Wordpress
I prefer using WordPress for its user-friendly interface, extensive plugin support, and robust community. It offers great flexibility whether you're creating a blog, portfolio, or even an e-commerce site. What about you all? What CMS do you find most effective and why?
Hey Ryan, I've been working on Webflow now for quite a while and love it. I'm self taught (+ Youtube) at web design and was able to pick up enough skills and intuitively design several client sites and even low-code web apps using the platform.
Where it's really powerful - you can easily build "templated collections" of types of posts and then scale your database collection (CMS) very quickly with beautifully designed content.
It's current limitations - not the same scale of "app marketplace" that Wordpress has. But if you're not a fan and sold out to the WordPress tech stack, I'd highly consider webflow.
The eCommerce settings are evolving. There's shopping etc. but not nearly as powerful as Shopify. But for pure CMS purposes with a powerful designer - this is my favorite platform.
WordPress. It's simple, fast, the interface is easy to edit, anyone can use it, and the editor is still very good.
Ghost Pro - great editor, reliable and just works
We love to use php.
I use WordPress mostly because of ease of use. Then I used Drupal recently for a client project then I felt in love of it. The natural google performance and seo scores are just dope haha.
I use WordPress because the wysiwyg editor is top tier.
Wagtail. Mostly because of the lower attack surface. WordPress would do fine, and probably would be cheaper to hire someone to do stuff on Elementor. But the nightmares of handling all the security patches and being a snail, drives me away from it.
I use WordPress, you can spin up a WP instance pretty quickly with any hosting provider, and I'm familiar with it, so I can basically build anything on top of WordPress.
I developed a couple of websites with Wagtail. Then I decided to move to Wordpress to have a "no code" solution (and more importantly, a "no-design" solution, my biggest missing skill)...
On the same server on Digital Ocean, while with Wagtail I can easily handle 10k visits/day, Wordpress struggles with 2k (even with cache, redis, etc.) In my case, if I'll go again for a CMS for a custom project, I would pick something more bare bones, like Wagtail. If delivering fast (including drag and drop design, etc.) compensates the increased running costs, then I would go for Wordpress.
I have worked with many content management systems before, I would say it depends on your need. If you are building a website I would recommend Craft CMS, if you are planning to build a website and/or a saas software with backend I would recommend Strapi or Sanity.
I built an integration with Notion and NextJS - To utilize Notion as a CMS, it makes it pretty easy to use, and allows me to publish/unpublish any article using tghe notion status tags. Would surely recommend it
Please share?
Little biased but Versoly. All in one website builder + CMS + forms.
Super powerful as I can use forms + CMS data inside web app as well to move faster without creating database columns etc.
