🚀 Open-Source Weekend #2: Thrilled to share updates!

✅ New Social Icons for smooth interactions
✅ Sleek Blog Post UI w/ tags for easy navigation

Open-source = Creativity + Community. Every line of code brings us closer to accessible design. Thoughts? 😊

#OpenSource #UI

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

This will eventually replace my Gatsby Starter Foundation, aiming for better performance and scalability. Still in progress, but I’m looking forward to sharing the final product soon! 💻✨

🚀 Weekend Project in Progress!

I spent this weekend working on a new website template, and I’m really excited about the direction it’s heading!

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

Here’s a sneak peek at the tech stack I’m using:

- @nextjs 14 with APP routes and SSG for efficient static generation
- @Decap_CMS (with markdown) for streamlined content management
- @shadcn /ui & @tailwindcss for a sleek, modern design

This is awesome @hygraph, i was looking for the information on saving schema on Github and AI based chat help understand in a second

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

when working with open source, I always steer clear of platforms with vendor lock-in . That’s why I appreciate AstroDB — no strings attached!

When it’s time to switch, just export your data and move on with ease. 🚀

#OpenSource #AstroDB

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

In my search for Decap CMS, alternative. i almost forgot about AstroDB

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

Big decision today: Should we stick with the awesome @Decap_CMS despite recent updates, or explore other options that better align with our Gatsbyjs starter foundation needs? 🤔

What do you think? Drop your suggestions below! 👇

#webdev #CMS

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

@tinacms @Decap_CMS @tinacms is not the right fit for our use case of `gatsby-starter-foundation`

So, the hunt continues. Either its staying with @Decap_CMS or finding a new git-based alternative which has active dev community

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

I’ve decided to build two prototypes: one with @astrodotbuild and another with @nextjs. Let’s see which one shines brighter! 🚀

#WebDev #Prototyping

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

@tinacms even the data types are limited in @tinacms compared to @Decap_CMS

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

@tinacms Working with TinaCMS locally is great. But it has lot of moving parts, whether using Tina Cloud / self-hosted. Their architecture is designed little different, it has a database.

Not as straight forward as @Decap_CMS (NetlifyCMS)

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

Integrating @tinacms was a breeze, but now comes the tough decision: Tina Cloud vs. self-hosted. Considering our template will be used by the community, choosing the right option is crucial.

Any thoughts? 🤔

Have been considering @nextjs and @astrodotbuild for our `gatsby-starter-foundation`

Choosing either of them will instant reduce the build times

If you love building with gatsby-starter-foundation, join the discussion about its future updates:

We value your input!

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

With @GatsbyJS now part of @Netlify and NetlifyCMS rebranded to @Decap_CMS under PM TechHub, we’ve made the tough call to transition our template to a new framework and CMS.

[M Munawar Ahmed @munawarjs]

We updated gatsby-starter-foundation from Gatsby v3 to v4.7 last year, but Gatsby had already moved to v5.8 two years ago.
