I'm currently using Kontent as my preferred CMS. I think it checks a lot of your boxes:
The rich text editor is pretty good and easy to use.
Uploading images is super easy with drag & drop
The markdown editor is pretty versatile and supports a wide range of options (see screenshot)
Embedding content is possible, but it requires some coding yourself.
The rebuilding process is almost inevitable when publishing to a static/CDN environment, and is also one of the unique selling points for JAMstack sites. Since the site is already being prebuilt, your website will become a lot faster.
Hi Martin, Kontent looks pretty good from the surface reading the specs and the pricing tiers. I will have to try it out and look into it a bit more. Thank you for the suggestion.
Are you able to custom style the fields in the editor. For example, if I wanted all the H1 tags to look a certain way with a specific hover effect. Did with Bold, Italic, Underline,etc. Actually I do not see underline in the screenshot given, hopefully that is there though. I am also guessing it does not have a live preview option?
I am going to give Butter CMS a go, it has a very good rating and might post my findings later on.
I understand that is a huge selling point for JAMStack, but it would be nice if at least a live preview was available on how the article looks when you are creating it. This would speed up publishing time dramatically and reduce unnecessarily rebuilds. A marketer/ blogger on the company site can easily customize and preview the article they are writing without having to publish, wait for the site to rebuild etc. It is almost a disaster doing it this way
There are some interesting things happening with live previews at StackBit, however, they are still in beta. Not ready yet for use in production environments in my opinion. But it could be a killer functionality!
