Heh. You might find my CMS (http://www.webhook.com) funny then. It's a CMS based on static-site-generator concepts... it deploys static websites for example and is easy to use and malleable. However it still has a firebase backend and a traditional /cms/ page with all the modern trappings you'd expect.

So I kind of went for both :)

Ooohh. I like where your head is with webhook.com. (How did you get that domain!) I would have backed your campaign had I been exposed to it. Any way to join late?

Alright... hear me out... thoughts on combining webhook.com with Atom as a single download/install. There are custom Atom packages that provide UI to achieve what you are doing through the CLI. Preview locally, too.

I bought the domain along with webhook.org awhile ago. They were surprisingly inexpensive. If you'd like to get in, just send me an email dave@webhook.com and reference this post.

Atom stuff sounds like a neat idea, but I'd rather not tie us to any specific editor. Obviously people can write whatever they want though. We plan on open sourcing most of the code.

Any news regarding hosting this yourself? I remember this being asked a few times, but I'm curious if your stance has changed since.

It's still roughly the same answer. Likely later this year. Certainly not from lack of want! More just because you'd have to sign up / install so many different services: firebase, elastic search, app engine for image resizing, mailgun or something for emails. There's just a lot of pieces.
