Currently beta-tested by two dozen customers: group your content! 🏘️

Sometimes your content makes more sense within their “group”, like a section or category.

At @SpinalCms this works great for our docs. 😊

And soon you can too!

#buildinpublic

Improvements to the activity log of the (currently in beta) new dashboard.

Rolling out to all customers soon. 😊
#buildinpublic #buildinginpublic

Small improvements for new users who are setting up their @SpinalCms account for the first time.

Think this looks better and is easier to scan. What do you think?

Before and after.

#buildinpublic #buildinginpublic

Introducing Spinal's new pricing.

Wrote about the journey from Spinal's launch to now. And including the future plans.

spinalcms.com/blog/pricing-j…

#buildinginpublic #buildinpublic

Slowly the Spinal documentation is coming together.

Decided to publish the first batch of docs to the site. Based on the OSS documentation theme for @bridgetownrb github.com/SpinalCMS/brid…

All written and edited with @SpinalCms. 😎

#buildinpublic

Currently running a *beta feature* where you can give access to your team members per content.

If toggled:
- the author has access to the content by default
- they can then manually choose who can have access too

#buildinginpublic #buildinpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

Your content's stats now have a new glorious place. View it by clicking the “i” icon on the right-hand side.

#buildinginpublic #buildinpublic

Exploring what should happen with links in the preview pane… 🤔

Also available as a @heyreform: forms.reform.app/KwFVIO/markdow…✌️

🤫 Coming soon to a @spinalCMS dashboard near you:

Show/hide any frontmatter in you contents overview.

#buildinpublic #buildinginpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

You can now more easily create “nested” frontmatter.
For the devs outthere: this can be a “hash” (cta in the example) or an “array” (further reading in the example). 🤯

Just click to add more fields. ✅

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

When you set up new content in Spinal you now get some useful feedback on the source path you entered.

Quickly see if the path is correct and how many markdown files there are. 🧮

#buildinpublic #buildinginpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

You can now easily set permissions for your team members:

- write: can create and edit content
- write & publish: like “write”, but can also publish
- administrate: all the above and can invite team members, change settings, etc.

#buildinpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

Whenever any of your collaborators starts editing content it will now be locked for others to be viewed or edited. ✋

This is shown via the little 🔒 next to the content's title.

#buildinpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

You can now upload images to your metadata.

The new upload type added, allows you to drop/paste images similar to your content's body. 😎

And of course it's powered by your @cloudinary account. 🖼

#buildinpublic

˗ˏˋNEWˎˊ˗

You can now add more content than just blogposts! ✍

At @Helptail they use @bridgetownrb for their marketing site and use Spinal to create and edit:

- blogposts
- documentation
- changelog

Of course this works for all other supported SSG! 🚀

#buildinpublic

Introducing new plans and pricing! 🤑

After a few talks, walks and careful consideration, I'm changing pricing from pay-per-collaborator to unlimited collaborators for a fixed price of just $19 per month. 🤯

#buildinpublic

Spinal is a truly “boring Ruby on Rails”™ app. This allows me to ship features quickly and with joy (using the latest Hotwire tools).

What's your tech-stack like?

#buildinpublic

Interested in giving Spinal CMS a go with your static site?

Head over to spinalcms.com

We're open for business. 🕺

#buildinpublic

Worked some more on the UI. The settings page with the integrations list is now fully done.

Also added the dropdown (up?) for the user credentails + logout.

I think that's a wrap? Many things to iron out and a tonne of ideas for the future, but it works! ✨

#buildinpublic

Onto the posts list + edit screens (and markdown preview). 🎨

Again: aiming for minimalism.
