    Comments about CloudCannon as an Alternative to Forestry

    Mostly the visual editing on CloudCannon is amazing. But also Forestry is sunsetting, or has reached the end-of-life, with no new features or support. CloudCannon has full support for SSGs like 11ty, Hugo, Jekyll, and Forestry's replacement Tina (React only) doesn't support them.

    Extremely easy to use both for developers and editors. It has multiple different editor views and can be customized to fit my use case
