The Best 10+ Open Source Headless CMS 2025

Hey #devs I have a question. #DecapCMS or #staticcms? I used #NetlifyCMS on a bunch of projects fueled by hope fo a Git based CMS but its been ok'ish. Do I stick with the what I know and I'm using or do I venture out?

working with #eleventy and #decapcms (former #netlifycms ) is pretty awesome
With one exception the use of the word collections
one is a collection of data the other is a contentype / pagetype kinda thingie

Naming stuff is hard

#TailwindCSS Typography was ok to install, but it was a bit of a struggle to rearrange my blog layout to work with the changed margins and new spacing.

but aside from that, I can now style blog posts from within #NetlifyCMS

While working with a student, I am being caught up to this entire #Netlify #NetlifyCMS #DecapCMS #StaticCMS cascade and I am so exited.

I have not worked on many web dev projects in the last few years, but the CMS question has always been a painful one for me. I chose Bludit for the last project I worked on but was never all that happy with it.

The idea of a #selfhosted #CMS with a UI that effectively creates commits to Git a git repo is really fun to me.

The inherent super heavy JS reliance remains a question mark, but it does seem like a step forwards for decentralised web conversations and self-hosting projects.

So, #NetlifyCMS got a new name a couple of weeks ago: #DecapCMS. But right before Netlify announced the new owner/name, a community fork called #StaticCMS was created. And – compared to Decap CMS which is still mostly dormant – the fork actually put a lot of work in and is about to release a new major version v2 in about two weeks. I'm really excited for this new version to be a proper successor to #NetlifyCMS. https://github.com/StaticJsCMS/static-cms #CMS #WebDev #Jamstack #StaticSiteGenerator

The demise of #NetlifyCMS is really a shame. It's such an important project and there are no real alternatives. I hope that one of the community forks will be successful #WebDev #CMS

Some hero have forked #netlifycms and is bringing it up to date - the glory of foss
