About TinaCMS
TinaCMS is an open source, Git-based content management system with a visual editor. It is used to edit Markdown content for websites and documentation sites.
What it does
TinaCMS stores content as Markdown files in your Git repository, so content stays under version control. Editors change pages visually, while developers keep control of the code and the site structure. The project can be used with modern frontend frameworks, and it includes TinaDocs, a starter for documentation sites. The site also lists TinaCloud, a hosted option for teams.
Key features
- Visual editing of Markdown content
- Content stored in your Git repository
- Visual editor alongside your live site
- TinaDocs starter for documentation sites
- Editorial workflow option for review
Who it's for
Developers building sites or documentation with Markdown and Git. Content teams who want a visual editor without giving up version control. Open source projects that maintain their own docs.
Pricing and good to know
TinaCMS is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence and can be used for free. The site also mentions TinaCloud as a hosted option. Self-hosting means you run your own site build and keep your content in your repository, so the setup needs a developer.
