New user: how stable is this?

[sitefinitysteve]

I posted over on the decapcms forum and got a notification on bluesky about this project and OMFG I love the idea because the netlifycms\decap UI\UX is an absolute dumpster.

So my project is Nuxt3, based off of this starter (https://github.com/Sfolkerts89/Nuxt3-starter__Decap-cms)

Would I be nuts for trying to migrate? On a fundamental level all this does is expose a git repo folder to allow adding items in a simple UI outside of my app... yes?

So our targeted marketing worked 😆

Sveltia is still in beta, but many people are already lovin’ it.

Please read the Migration section to get started. Looks like you’re using Git Gateway, so I recommend migrating to the GitHub backend first with Decap CMS. Then replace the <script> tag with Sveltia CMS as the migration guide says. Let me know how it goes.

UI/UX matters to me and netlifycms is almost aggressively ugly, so yeah I wouldn’t have found you otherwise!

fundamentally I just have a blog collection of .json files with about 5 simple fields that’s all I need this for afm

should be able to handle that no problem eh?

[kyoshino]

Should be no problem! Actually you can easily give Sveltia a try locally, before migrating the backend.

In your config, replace this

backend:
  name: git-gateway

with

backend:
  name: github
  repo: sitefinitysteve/repo # replace `repo` with you actual repo name

and follow the instructions.

Oh that took SECONDS to change and it's already SO MUCH BETTER. Question though, probably roadmap... In my current iteration for sanity I have all my images for most posts under the slug for the posts [image: image.png] The sveltia UI I THINK is just aggregating all the images recursively into the one UI window? - Is folder management part of the DAM features roadmap item, or is it here and just a config option. - When using the transformation->webp option, is there an option to also just save the OG file as well to the repo? I won't bug you with any questions anymore lol, this is just such a BREATH OF FRESH AIR coming from NetlifyCMS, it's like they just didn't care at all. Steve

I think you tried to attach a screenshot but I can’t see it. Anyway:

• If you want to organize images with an entry slug, you can use a configuration like this one.
• Manual folder management is planned before the 1.0 release. Feature request: Manual assets folder control #301 may be close to what you want.
• I could add an option to keep the original file during the transformation. Currently there is no option for that.

Feel free to ask more questions! I’m eager to learn about how people use the CMS for their work.
