We've been using TakeShape as the CMS behind Massive (https://massivesci.com/) for the past year and a half and have had a great experience. It's allowed us to rapidly prototype new features without much technical overhead.

We knew from the start we wanted to serve static pages for simplicity and security, but so many existing SSGs rely exclusively on rendering folders of Markdown. While this makes sense to developers, we found most editors (the people) need WYSIWYG tools to do their jobs well.

But even on the dev side, it's lent us way more speed and flexibility for prototyping and iterating on data structures and features underlying our publication without any of the maintenance of a more traditional solution like Wordpress or Django.

Right now I'd totally recommend this to freelancers, design studios, or teams who want to deploy something static without sacrificing usability. The one downside is that it does require somebody with web dev experience to provide the templates to present the content.

It's a really unique product that stands in a sweet spot for product-minded teams between something like Jekyll/GH Pages on one end and Squarespace on the other end. I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows.
