I'm using forestry for my company site now to give my non-tech cofounder an easy way to write blog posts.
Two suggestions that would really improve my life:
1. A better wysiwyg editor. I've taught her some markdown but every time you switch to wysiwyg and back and make a change I get loads of spans injected into my md.
2. A better media manager with:
- folders
- image resizing (maybe integrate filestack.io as they have some image manipulation)
I love the simplicity of forestry and it's really close to perfect for my use case. Github -> s3 is seamless and having edits committed back is great.
