I was actually looking for a CMS I could use for my dad's forestry company. I could set up the server and design, and he could log in to change the content.
Forestry on Forestry?

#82If I were you, I would rethink your "beta invite" flow. Adding an email address and clicking on the "Request Invite" button doesn't send you an invite, it adds you to their MailChimp newsletter list and sends an email asking you to confirm your address (for opt-in). There is no invite code or protected page, anyone can just go to https://forestry.io/beta to sign up. Don't trick me into opting in to your newsletter wh…
Co-creator here. We certainly didn't intend for this feeling and have removed the Mailchimp form. There is now just a direct link to the signup page. The people that signed up to the beta invite list will not be subscribed to our newsletters unless they sign up to Forestry and choose to opt into our newsletter. Mailchimp was simply an easy way for us to manage a list of people interested in the service. Having the li…

#83This reminds me: About a year ago I wrote down [1] some ideas I had about a static site generator that defines its structures in JSON schema (or something alike). It then uses this type information to validate the correct usage in all templates and inputs, as well as to generate a UI for editing.

#89Ooh, looks nice. I assume it's going to be a service though? Anyone know of similar style products out there that are self-hosted or open source? I have several scenarios where it would be great to tie together a static repo, an on-demand CMS like this, and the pushed final product, just like this looks like it will do. Requested access though, looking forward to seeing more.
cloudcannon.com is the biggest similar service but quite expensive
