I am working on the «ultimate dev ex» CMS: https://val.build/docs

GitHub: https://github.com/valbuild/val

Intro video: https://youtu.be/83bnYGIsm5g?si=5LN7dxnARrS4jNEx

What sets it apart is that it 1) stores content in TS / JS files 2) is a fully fledged CMs. It is designed to be nice to work with from the start a project (and the structure of your app changes all the time) -> when everyone works on individual PRs -> to the end when the project is decommissioned.

It needs no cloud APIs, no DBs nor caching. No query language to learn. No sign up to get started. It is fully TypeSafe and needs no type generation. You can rename and refactor content from you IDE. It works amazingly with Cursor and friends (local content and schema + strong typesafty + validation)

Currently reqs are: Nextjs and GitHub.

APIs are pretty stable. UI is in the process of a revamp. Will do a proper show hn some time in the near future.
