FrontAid CMS - Agile Content Management with JSON & Git.

Introducing FrontAid CMS - The Content Management System for JSON that integrates with Git

FrontAid CMS has been in public beta stage for some time. Now finally we are ready to officially open it up for everybody. And the best part is that we are making it completely free.

What is FrontAid CMS?

FrontAid CMS is a content management system that stores all its content in JSON files. That means it can be integrated into everything that is able to read JSON. And that is basically everything as every important programming language already supports JSON.

FrontAid CMS integrates with Git and makes use of its super powers. You get a version history of every single content change that was ever made. You can use the extensive Git tooling to automate every single step. Use Git hooks and/or a CI/CD system to transform and build content into your applications however you want.

FrontAid CMS supports localized content with arbitrary locales, and rich text fields. You can create a data model to structure your content however you need to. The copy texters will only be able to add content according to that model. Learn more about FrontAid CMS or start reading our documentation.

What’s next?

FrontAid CMS is very much usable but not done, yet. The next steps are to add important features for even better content management.

We plan to add better branch support to FrontAid CMS. You will be able to work on feature branches and update/extend the corresponding content without touching your production version. Work on different branches in parallel and only merge content changes when they are ready.

Another feature we have on our roadmap is to add support for images and files. You will be able to add them along your content and reference them in your code base.

You can use FrontAid CMS for free. Should we ever add a price tag in the future, it will only affect new projects. Existing projects are and will continue to be free forever.
