The traditional CMS landscape has evolved over time, but many still struggle with maintaining large applications and complex interwoven layers of cache. Site generators offer a more interactive experience, but often require knowledge of Git and Continuous Deployment tools. Netlify CMS bridges this gap by providing an open-source React.js app that acts as a wrapper for the Git workflow, allowing collaborators to create and edit content without writing code or dealing with version control. The goal is to build a fully-featured and production-ready CMS that's easy to customize and use, while also encouraging community involvement and collaboration.
