Automad / A Flat-File CMS and Template Engine
Automad is a fast and lightweight flat-file content management system and template engine for creatives that can be used in a monolithic or headless mode.
After spending close to twenty years clicking around the WordPress dashboard, I’m finding Automad’s whole “minimalist CMS” vibe deeply refreshing.
I played with a demo of version 2, goofed around a bit with the extensions on offer, and not once did I have to dismiss a dashboard notification or suffer through a premium upsell offer. Truly glorious.
The fact that it’s written in PHP — something that I have plenty of experience with — is also pretty damn nice.
I’m definitely going to have to spend some more time messing around with this.
