Today I want to show you a cool Vapid CMS.
Often I need to build a simple website that has a dashboard where users can edit or add new pages/posts...

It's so cool! I'll try it ＼(◎o◎)／
Yes, I was amazed at how quickly you can build a simple website with CMS and how easily you can deploy it.
Yep! I had use Vue for created website because easy. Then, I use Svelte and JSON Server. It's easier. Then, you tell us about this amazing library
(☉｡☉)!
Yes, I think this CMS is worth a try. I didn't build anything complex, but I think that this CMS has that ability.
Now if you want something real simple you should try Surreal CMS. It's just plug and play
Thank you, I will try Surreal CMS.
Interesting, from this demo and what I can gather in their docs, it seems like this is more than just a headless CMS and actually incorporates the static site generator as well. Much more like wordpress with its templating and less like contentful + static site generator. I expected to be able to combine Valid with a framework like Vue/React/Svelte, but I'm not sure if that's possible (or even a good idea based on the project's goals).
Thanks for the share, very interesting to read into.
I didn't try something like that, I mean combine with Vue or Svelte but definitely, I will try. Thank you.
This looks very interesting and I'd like to try it.
But before I do, can you (or someone) tell me how data gets into Vapid? I see how you get it out, and I know there's a SQLite DB underneath but there's some part of the story still missing for me.
Even if it's obvious as hell, please humor me and give me a short answer or direct me to one. Thanks, ge
Hello, yes they are using SqliteDB and if you open
vapid.sqlitefile you will see the structure of the DB (records, sections, users etc). You can see the whole project on their Github project - link. I don't think that you can build anything complex with this but for a simple blog or portfolio or any landing page will be just fine.Interesting! Which templating language does Vapid use? Also have you tried Kirby CMS?
I think it is a hybrid between Mustache and Handlebars. Yes, I was using Kirby CMS, I build my first portfolio site with Kirby :-)
How do you compare Kirby vs Vapid?
It's a great little tool albeit being not actively developed. I was enthusiastic when it released last year, but in the end I find netlify cms so incredibly more powerful and easier to use.
Yes, I see that at some point development is on pause. I will try to contact them to see will they continue with this project. I have a lot of ideas about how can this project be even better. And yes, Netlify CMS is great.
Performance?
Google Lighthouse screen?
I am more than satisfied with the performance, I must that am using this CMS on a simple website but it is more than enough. Here is an image:
Perfect!
Can you link your website please?
Is a blog?
This is a site that I was using for demo purposes:, here is a link. Basically, it is a small blog/listing.
And can you enter data in markdown?
No, I am afraid that you can not use markdown.
