Really interesting, just signed up for the waitlist. The name is not ideal if I ever have to sell a client on it, but project looks interesting and I’m looking forward to testing it.
For years, I've worked with CMS platforms that trap both developers and clients. One of the core missions of strife.app is to break free from these constraints. Here's a demo showcasing how Strife is utilized as a CMS for a web built with Astro and hosted on @github Pages.
We get this question quite often and I understand your concern. We see it a bit differently and I hope that this blog post explains it well. strife.app/blog/the-story…
I understand and I appreciate your honest feedback. Though I think your example is somewhat far fetched. A better example would be to compare Strife and Discord. They have more in common than Strife and Barf I think :)
Slack as another example. But you said yourself, you get this feedback enough from folks that you felt the need to write an explanation. Why not remove a point of friction early, while you still can?
