Cloudflare Pages has the GitHub integration and CI, but no the GUI front-end. There is a git CMS frontend called Sveltia CMS that could be a good option but I haven't tried it myself.

I am using Cloudflare Pages to deploy my personal website, where I author the content by hand in markdown – it's great!

My point is though that unfortunately there is nothing that's as "all in one" as traditional Wordpress hosting for the static site generator world. Sveltia CMS seems to be like Decap / Netlify CMS – my biggest problem with those were always support for media files, like lots of images, maybe videos etc., they just don't fit well into a git repository, and you end up having to bolt another solution on top of it to make it work, like git lfs or an external object storage host. From the Sveltia CMS docs it seems like that's not even an option yet:

> External media storage services are not supported yet. Deprecated Netlify Large Media won’t be added.

And even if you are building a website that's mainly text and small images, I don't really love the flow of all the content going into the the git repository, with huge amounts of commits that are just "X updated blogposty-y.md", especially with lots of collaborators.

I realize I'm asking for a lot with this 'all-in-one' solution, maybe it's just a problem noone else has, I often think about trying to build it myself, although I am aware it would be a really complex undertaking..
