Oh, it's PHP - neat. Personally I think Statamic is the entry to beat for flat-file CMSes in the PHP space. This project is the Symfony flavor I suppose (vs Statamic being based on Laravel).

Part of the problem probably is that the site won't completely load. Hug of death maybe.

the "get premium" sticky makes this website unusable for me. was curious to see how a flat-file CMS can make a come back.

Personally think https://getkirby.com is the entry to beat but I guess it’s just because I’m used to it and it works incredibly well for my use case.

came here to say this. i went all over looking for a replacement... just pay for it. its exactly what you want. i built https://2020isasong.com/ on kirby and tries to rebuild with grav and ended up deciding kirby was just too good.

What is a flat-file CMS? What are CMSs that aren't flat-file?

How many CMSs are there now? How come people are still making more? Why isn't this a boring, fairly stable commodity category the way web servers or something are?

A content management system where the content is stored in flat-files like csv.
