SteadyCMS

SteadyCMS — a flexible, block-based, static site CMS frontend for desktop.

Currently, only Hugo is supported but the long-term goal is to be flexible for use with any static site generator out there.

Not yet ready for production use, but we're nearing alpha state. We're looking for early testers, adopters, and contributors to help make SteadyCMS the best it can be.

Roadmap

For now the Vue.js app wrapped in Electron.js for a desktop application is our primary focus, then in the future, a web version.

  • Initial dashboard
  • Create, edit, and preview post
  • WIP Basic block editor for editing posts (Paragraph, Heading, List, Image, Quote blocks)
  • Post featured image
  • WIP Onboarding flow for creating a new website
  • WIP Media library for managing static files
  • Publish post
  • Website settings

Contributing

We welcome pull requests and feedback!

Project structure

  • This repository holds the main Vue.js application which can be dropped into either the desktop (or web in the future) projects.
  • The Electron-based desktop version can be found here

In the future, we plan to have a separate repository that will hold the version that runs on a web server. We're currently focused on the desktop version.

Developing the desktop version

Setting up the first time

  1. Clone the source for the desktop version git clone https://github.com/SteadyCMS/desktop.git
  2. Move into the render directory with cd desktop/src/renderer
  3. Drop in the Vue.js code (this repository) with git clone https://github.com/SteadyCMS/SteadyCMS.git .
  4. Run npm install to get the js dependencies for the Vue.js application
  5. Run npx tailwindcss -i ./assets/source.css -o ./assets/main.css --watch to rebuild the css
  6. Move back to to the root folder with cd ../..
  7. Run npm install to get the js dependencies for the desktop version (Electron, etc).
  8. Run npm run dev to build.

Development

Rebuilding tailwindcss

cd src/renderer
npx tailwindcss -i ./assets/source.css -o ./assets/main.css --watch
