Static site generators often struggle with non-technical content editing. The industry usually solves this by pushing teams toward proprietary SaaS headless CMS providers with hefty monthly subscription fees and database lock-in.

Complete Separation of Concerns

Kaze solves this through strict decoupling:

  1. The Generator is CMS-Agnostic: Kaze only reads plain JSON and Markdown files from the content/ folder. It has zero knowledge of how those files were created or edited.
  2. Open Standards: The optional /admin/ visual studio uses the open Decap/Sveltia specification. Any tool that adheres to this standard works out of the box.
  3. Zero Running Costs: Sveltia CMS runs entirely in the client browser as a single-page application. It commits changes directly to your Git repository, triggering automatic edge deployments with $0 server fees.

Workflows for Every Role

  • Developers: Edit content locally in Neovim, VS Code, or Cursor. Push commits via Git CLI.
  • Writers and Editors: Log into /admin/ through GitHub authentication to edit articles, upload photos, and draft case studies with a visual interface.
  • Knowledge Workers: Point an Obsidian vault directly at content/ to sync notes into live web pages.

Because the underlying data is standard JSON and Markdown, you retain full ownership of your content forever.
