Maybe give Mattrbld a shot. 😉 It’s a free and open-source headless CMS made in Germany.

Updated #introduction (now with screenshots)!

Static websites are great—until you want to add a new item to the navigation or publish a new blog post from your phone. That's where #mattrbld comes in.

It is an open-source content management system that makes it convenient to manage your content from different devices without locking you in, preserving your privacy and freedom.

Quick PSA to anyone who has used #Mattrbld before and is wondering why it’s not updating to v1.0:

It seems that due to the change in underlying architecture, your browser might not be able to automatically detect that there is a new version available. You can force it to load the newest version by performing a hard refresh, that is done by clicking the refresh button while holding down the Shift-key. In some browsers you may also use Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Along with this release comes a completely rewritten website built with #Astro—and of course managed through Mattrbld itself. 🎉

Some highlights include a full light/dark theme, an #RSS feed for the blog, easier navigation in the docs, and a search function for the docs. 😁

The day has come, Mattrbld 1.0 is out. 🥳 And that means that not only has it left beta status, it’s now also fully open-source. 👀

What is Mattrbld, you ask? It’s a #decentralised headless content management system for static websites, blogs, portfolios, and much more.

Read the blog post for some more insights and check out the changelog to see what’s new in this release. 😊

If the whole #wordpress situation has you looking into alternatives, maybe give #Mattrbld a shot. 😊

It’s definitely not a 1:1 replacement—but it will not lock you into a platform that may go haywire despite being open source, as your website will work independently from the content management system.

A new approach is not worse just because it’s different.

#HeadlessCMS are the future. 😊

Small Mastodon-exclusive update: the reworked website is pretty much ready for release. 💪

Yet another stop on the road to open-source completed. 🎉

Focus is now shifting to the logistics of an open source project such as licensing, moving the code to a common namespace, transferring existing issues into a public issue tracker and so on. There’s still some work left to be done, but we’re getting there. 😊

The year is fast on its way into its final quarter, which means the #FOSS release of #Mattrbld is coming closer.

A big part of that is the licence, of course. I want Mattrbld (and potential derivatives) to be accessible to all, forever. Which is why I’m considering the #AGPL licence (since technically it’s a SaaS product).

Is there anything that would speak against this choice? Are there some special considerations to take before applying the licence? 🤔

Is it Christmas already? 😳

The #Mattrbld website is getting some upgrades to be ready for the #FOSS launch. 👍

2024 is nearly halfway over already, can you believe it? 😳 In January, I announced my plans to release Mattrbld under a #FOSS licence by the end of the year and I’ve been steadily chipping away at that for the past months.

Here’s a small update on what happened so far and what will be up next:

This may look like it’s just a screenshot of the Mattrbld onboarding screen, but it’s in fact the first time Mattrbld is running completely on #vite instead of #webpack.

There’s still quite a lot to do—but the #FOSS release is getting closer! 🎉

Looks like the parent company of #Tumblr and #WordPress.com (users of the JetPack plugin on self hosted WordPress might also be affected) will be selling the content of their users to #AI companies. 😒

With #Mattrbld, that cannot happen, as it’s simply a UI for *your* content. Perhaps today is a great day to start building your own website with tools you can truly control. 😊

Mattrbld v0.7.1 was just released with a fix that could cause the editor of rich text fields to crash if the field was outputting Markdown and smart quotes were disabled. 🎉

Sorry for the inconvenience this issue caused.
