I like Netlify CMS except I can't see a way it could provide live previews for edits when used with a (Go based) static site generator like Hugo. Waiting for staging branches to deploy to see your edits for complex pages isn't practical.
I'd love to have a solution to this if anyone knows one. Hugo is really fast and simple so I'd want something similar from a JavaScript static site generator if switching static site generator is the only option here.
Yeah, this is my experience as well. Was hoping for something on the fly. Might be a good space to start my own project for, especially considering a lot of the code could be generated client side and updated real time
Long time ago I used to work in a startup. Their servers and workstations were old, slow and weak.
But on their web pages, extra-net and intra-netpages everything was up to date, sharp and really fast!
For adding new subcategory of pages was as easy as
mkdir sub ; cd sub ; ln -s ../Makefile
