This is great as it is, but I would love to see support for posts in plain HTML. There's a huge potential for static sites generated by Webflow and other platforms like it. Hosting costs are the biggest issue with these platforms. It would help so many designers and marketing teams that don't have access to a developer or simply don't want (or don't know how) to set up themselves a Jekyll, Next.js, Astro, Hugo, or Nuxt website.

I love it! I do have a quick question. It seems like you can create files with the correct filename for jekyll but it doesn't seem like there is a way to tell it that the date only exists as the file name? jekyll dates within the files do override the file dates but are actually not required. It would be nice if I could pull the date from the file name. I hope I'm just overlooking something simple.

Nice. Does it support multi-projects? I got a lot of sites and dont like to have to have a seperate CMS for each.

Yes: - There's an online version, you can just go to https://app.pagescms.org - You can switch between repos and branches straight from the interface (just click on the repo menu in the top left corner).

Perfect! Will check it out!

Looks very nice. Any comparisons against other github based CMS? Personally I've been using Keystatic.

I've not tried it yet, but isn't that running on your local machine? Looks pretty good though.

You can also self host with your blog. I have it running as part of my astro deploy on vercel.

I had support for that but dropped it as I was trying to get that release out and didn't have time to refactor it properly (I made a lot of changes in the past couple of weeks).

I do use Jekyll for a few sites of mine and need this to work, if only to sort my posts. Expect this to be added back in the next few days.

I'll drop a line here once it's released.
