SeaMist: a headless CMS that starts with your files.
A simple API layer that turns files and directories into a headless CMS.
What it is for
Build a front end and consume content within minutes.
SeaMist sits on top of files and directories, then exposes the content through an API. It is designed to stay simple: content can remain close to the project and front ends can consume it without first adopting a large CMS platform.
What it supports
A compact layer between content and front end.
Useful CMS capabilities without turning a directory of content into a complicated system.
Search and caching
Caching and search indexing using SQLite’s FTS5 engine.
More than one site
Multiple sites with API keys that can be scoped by capability and site access.
Fast updates
Filesystem watchers reload updated content within seconds.
API-first
A straightforward API layer for websites and other front ends to consume.
