A flat-file (micro)CMS written in Rust, the basic idea would be to make it as easy as possible for content creators to have a web presence without dealing with the nitty-gritty details, and similarly for web designers to be able make themes while treating the CMS itself as a black box mostly.
Grav CMS was inspiration for this project along with various SSG.
But truthfully I wanted to play more with Rust and come up with a solution for making and extending personal websites easily. A page is made up of blocks which are stored and configured in a KDL file, minijinja is used for templating and for writing the page content itself I'm thinking about Djot because it might make it easier to integrate a WYSIWYG editor in the admin area if I aim for Djot instead of Markdown or similar. Also HTMX because I've used it for a simple use-case once and I thoroughly enjoyed it, now I want to see how much I can push it.
Is this the intersection between buzzword-driven development and hype-driven development? Probably, but if all goes well a month or two from now I'll post a Show HN and go into more details. The plan is to open-source the core so that people can easily self-host it themselves if they want to and do local development. In the long-term the plan probably is to offer SaaS-style hosting for the CMS as is the custom.
