    Project mention: Ask HN: Looking for Headless CMS Recommendation | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-03

    If you're hell-bent on headless, I can personally recommend 11ty (https://www.11ty.dev/) and hugo (https://gohugo.io/). That said, for non-technical admins, you probably want a user interface. For that, Ghost (https://ghost.org/) and Grav (https://getgrav.org/). Or Wordpress!

  4. Adminer

    Database management in a single PHP file

    Project mention: What if we improve the way developers are given access to databases | dev.to | 2025-10-03

    Certain complex tasks (analyzing indexes, optimizing queries, performing large-scale exports/imports) are much simpler with a graphical tool than with a command line or REST API. The same is true for analyzing the structure of a complex database with many tables. The user-friendliness of the graphical interface of tools like DBeaver or Adminer is a definite advantage.
