forestry + hugo is incredibly amazing. Hugo is a single cross platform binary that generates static websites almost instantaneously.

I set up forestry on my father's bed and breakfast website. I am very pleased.

Glad to hear! I'd love to know how we could improv the experience if you have sky feedback

I'm using forestry for my company site now to give my non-tech cofounder an easy way to write blog posts.

Two suggestions that would really improve my life:

1. A better wysiwyg editor. I've taught her some markdown but every time you switch to wysiwyg and back and make a change I get loads of spans injected into my md.

2. A better media manager with: - folders - image resizing (maybe integrate filestack.io as they have some image manipulation)

I love the simplicity of forestry and it's really close to perfect for my use case. Github -> s3 is seamless and having edits committed back is great.

Thanks for the suggestion! #1 is in the works and #2 is in early planning stages.

Neat but not self-hostable nor open source :(

True, but we if your goal is to have people manage content from mysite.com/admin you can do that since the Forestry CMS is just a single page react application that talks to our API. More info here https://forestry.io/docs/remote-admin/
