Publii – CMS with SSG

Re:Publii – CMS with SSG by pembrook on Sunday March 07, 2021 @03:40PM (#26379562)

Gave Publii a try a few months back. My impressions:

the good

Comes with a great, minimalist editor UI built in

The templates available are very well designed

Great SEO defaults (and amp support) out of the box (a huge problem for most SSGs)

the bad

Completely removes the entire value of a SSG for me - custom building features into sites is not at all easy or intuitive

The editor can only be run locally on a single desktop machine - also a non-starter for me

Ultimately I think publii would be great for a humble 1 person blog, with no commercial aspirations.

If you’re trying to build a business, and still want the ease of updating, go with Webflow (or Wordpress, if you’re non-technical).

Publii from multiple computers works fine if you use cloud storage. https://www.google.com/amp/s/getpublii.com/docs/amp/publii-o...

I was wondering how it would handle if two people were editing the same file on two different computers.

You can integrate an e-commerce in Publii with third-party tools, so I think it can actually be used by people with “commercial aspirations”.
