It seems there is a growing movement of headless CMSs, but I am afraid of vendor lock-in with Cloudflare and the like. Are there any other CMS's that people are using these days? Perhaps looking forward to be using in 2023?

Forestry has been on my radar for a long time but never had a need to use it https://forestry.io/ The big draw for me is it's just Hugo/Gatsby/Jekyll underneath, and the output files can be delivered anywhere that will host static files (CloudFlare pages does this really well, as does Netlify).

Forestry is shutting down and pushing people to Tina instead. I guess it is the same company? I don't really know.

You host it on your own Cloudflare account.

Thats not self hosting, is it?

Most people consider self-hosting as "running service x yourself", which I think i fair considering most people treat self-hosting as an alternative to SaaS offers

Cloudflare is a SaaS.

I just use PicoCMS and upload my markdown files through FTP. I don't think there's anything out there that can compete with the simplicity of this solution, not even static site generators. It uses templates with Twig, and it's very simple PHP so you can host it anywhere. I once hit the frontpage of a big aggregator from my country and it handled like it was nothing from a very cheap shared hosting. From my Linux Min…

What is good solution for hosting a domain anonymously? I want to start blogging but don’t want to do a personal one just yet. I mean anonymous in lightweight general sense, not political activist super security.

WhoisGuard and similar are in this case enough for privacy.

WHOIS[1] masking hides your information from the world. It's a service provided by some domain sellers who, obviously, will know those details (given them by you), as well as your financial information as you can't usually lease domains using untraceable transactions.

Forestry is a dead product. Netlifly CMS seems dead as well, only the CMS part though.
