Blogged: SSW purchases TinaCMS – the #1 CMS on GitHub – we love Markdown ❤️

I’m excited to share that we have acquired @tinacms – as I believe, every website should use GitHub with Markdown. Tina also comes with a rocking Markdown editor and of course, the best version control system on the market, bar none.

We are competing with big players such at Contentful, Sanity, Sitecore and many others that we have build great solutions on over the years. They all have the same Achilles Heal being a propriety database. GitHub is the answer, the question is irrelevant :-)

In addition, over the years as SSW’s Chief Architect, I’ve seen firsthand how Markdown simplifies so much for content editors. We’ve been fans and using TinaCMS for a while, it even powers the SSW website! That is because we wanted a simple UX + awesome version control.

Tina’s vision of a seamless Git CMS is shared by SSW engineers.

I have a lot to learn, and am excited to be adding features to make Tina the best CMS out there. Users will start seeing more features very soon as the Tina team will be supercharged with engineering power from SSW.

If you have product suggestions or bugs please post on GitHub, and for support check out our community Discord.

The DJI Mic mini is awesome
It's wireless, has magnetic clips, wind muffs, comes with 2 mics so I can have good sound when interviewing someone

As a bonus, I can plug it into my iPhone and it works just as well there too

In the speakers’ lounge at #NDCLondon, got some comments on my “professional setup”.

At work, I've had some Windows friends also ask how what webcam am I using... because it looks great on Teams calls

✈️ My travel gear
- iPad as a 2nd monitor
- Portable tripod so the camera is head height
- Teams calls - no change, I use the built-in mic on my MacBook
- Recordings - I pull out my DJI Mic Mini

🎉 My team does a lot of hard work to ensure #TinaCMS supports LTS versions of #NodeJS. I'm thrilled that v2.2.5 is ready for Node 22's LTS release next month! 📆 The devs really came together to get this done - I'm grateful for their dedication. 💪 https://t.co/Bz5bJcgMRl

@larsklint Got that update as well. Assuming it’s all hooked up to homeassistant already 😉

[Matt Wicks @matteightyate]

@Meligy 100 agree

@GordonBeeming @SSW_TV CRTs would be better but expensive!

[Matt Wicks @matteightyate]

Big thanks to @SSW_TV for letting us use the office for #DadLAN first #Newcastle subnet. We all had a blast 💥(pun intended), played so many games, someone even tried to conquer the rings… and we even had a chance to show the #CentralCoast how to play Unreal Tournament 2004 😜

@MR0808 It counts as active minutes right?

🚨 New Term: #Chatsplaining 🚨 Someone asked a question, my wife nailed the answer, but then a male colleague used #ChatGPT, and it came up with the exact same answer! 🤦‍♂️ I totally called him out for chatsplaining. #AIethics #Mansplaining #TechCulture #DigitalEtiquette
