Show HN: Outstatic an open source CMS for Next.js (outstatic.com)

4 points by AndreVitorio ↗ HN
Hi, I've been working on a new project for a couple of months and I'm close to launching it. It is called Outstatic, I created a landing page for it. Sing up to the waitlist to be notified when it comes out.

Features include:

Open source Host for free Keep your data 5 minute setup (5 minutes to live!)

The CMS was built with Next.js and uses Github and Vercel as its main hosting platforms. Full site with examples and documentation coming soon.

Feedback on the idea and the current landing page is appreciated. Thank you!

The best part for me was that it has a link to the GitHub repo, where I can browse the code and see what it does.

The site design looks nice - but I almost never give out email, so the landing page was not useful for me. It did make me curious what "static CMS" and "no database" means - so perhaps you could explain in technical detail how a CMS with no DB works, what its advantages are compared to other similar projects, etc.

I'm glad you dig the design, feel free to explore the Github and star it if you like :)

As for the technical details, the framework is used to manage content for statically generated websites with Next.js, using Markdown and Git to store the contents. I'll go into more detail in the docs, which should be released this week. Thanks for checking it out!

Great, looking forward to following the progress of the project. I love static sites and Next.js, so I'm definitely interested in the framework. Please post again, I'll make sure to up vote! :)
