Any Jekyll or Hugo frontend software availabe?

sanvit

Is there anything like WordPress editor that works with Jekyll or Hugo? Not really a fan of markdown, plus I want to write posts with my phone too. I do have a webserver, so written in PHP is fine as long as it supports publishin using FTP. Or it coud be somethng like Forestry.io.

Suggestions please! Thanks!

Then you picked the wrong software.

If you want the Wordpress editor...why not...just use Wordpress?

Writing your posts in Markdown without a big interactive CMS is kind of the point of Jekyll/Hugo/Pelican/etc., no? And people who want to serve static web sites probably don't want to put php in front of it to generate the post so they can turn around and generate the site...just use WP + supercache.

I did google up a jekyll front end and it is hilariously a desktop Java app...

Well, wordpress is good. However, I was thinking of creating a static blog and host ot through S3 or something and put a CDN on front of it.

Java app..... Hmmmmm... may be my last choice...

Thanks for the comment!

(offtopic) Here are some with admin panels https://www.flatfilecmslist.com/tag/Admin Panel, I have never used any but they seem very interesting. Will try bludit in my nat vps when I get some spare time. Any other recommendation from anyone ? I would also like to have some sort of admin panel for writing/editing posts and bludit seems to have one.

There are lots of online markdown editors, just try out the one that best suit your needs.

Gravity has a great admin backend. It uses an easy markdown with common HTML tag selection buttons. Super easy to install and tons of templates and plugins.
