One of the Maker's here (waiting for approval). There's a ton of cool things going on in the space of headless CMSs (we have a list at http://headlesscms.org/), but we felt a strong need for a strong open-source offering that works across all the static build tools that people are working with and integrates into the git centric workflow that developers lives in.
We just helped Smashing Magazine transition from Worpdress/Shopify/Rails/Kirby to a unified front-end built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) and Netlify CMS, so we know this approach can work even for larger publications like that, and we're super excited to push this forward and develop it in the open.

Best combo we've used for https://psdwizard.com/ to build a fast performing and SEO friendly site. Tech stack: netlify + netlify CMS + react-static + github. Netlify CMS requires zero maintenance
- never worry about security upgrades, hosting, or performance.
Pros:
neat, non-bloated admin panel, full control on custom fields
Cons:
learning curve if you are a WordPress developer

wow, that's a great site!! Very encouraging to see what you've made with Netlify CMS. It certainly looks very attractive now.
Just want to point that this project is open source, so if there is something that you wish it did you can open an issue or PR 👉🏾 https://github.com/netlify/netli...
