About Sveltia CMS
Sveltia CMS is a Git-based headless content management system for static and Jamstack websites. It is a full rewrite of Netlify CMS, now known as Decap CMS, and keeps high compatibility with existing configurations while improving performance, security, and user experience. It is open source under the MIT license and runs as a small single-page web app served from a CDN.
It is designed for both content editors and developers, with first-class internationalization, dark mode, and mobile support. The topics mention integrations with GitHub and stock-photo providers such as Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, plus digital asset management features. The maintainers say hundreds of issues from the Decap repository have been resolved, and the project shows migrated sites from Decap and WordPress in its showcase.
Sveltia CMS is framework-agnostic and works with static site generators like Astro, Eleventy, and Hugo, from personal blogs and portfolios to marketing sites and knowledge bases. It suits teams that want to keep content in Git while giving non-developers a friendly editing interface.
