Is there a flat-file CMS I could point to my Eleventy dev folder that would act as a nice front end to manage the Markdown content?
I've looked at a few (such as Grav, TinaCMS, Pico CMS, SpinalCMS) but they seem to do their own thing and manage files/site themselves, whereas I'd want Eleventy to handle everything and just have a nice UI instead of dealing with files.
The idea being when you save a post/page (.md file) it would update the e.g. GitHub repo and trigger the build. Any ideas?
Bonus points for being open source and also an accommodating free plan, or at least decent upgrade levels that don't go from free to $500 pm for an additional seat.
Mattrbld looks good but I'm not sure how mature/stable it is and so does PagesCMS if it can do what I'm after. I guess it also depends on hosting and my options there too.

I keep coming back to reading about web components.
The opportunity to try them out hasn't come up yet but I still don't think I get it. Is it just another way of sneaking JavaScript into a site build? Do they work without JavaScript?
With all the Eleventy talk about moving to Font Awesome and their Web Awesome stuff I really want to learn it and like it, but I'm coming at it from an HTML/CSS-only standpoint (static sites lend themselves to a lack of JS) and am trying to understand how it carefully adds to a build, instead of taking it over or relying on JS. Or maybe I'm way off.
For several years now I've used "builders" for some clients, mostly on WordPress, which are a swamp of JavaScript and awful performance. So as I look to simpler project builds in the future I want to factor in nice solutions for things that aren't going to turn into a hassle down the line.
The idea of browsers supporting it sounds fantastic though. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.

I started using Obsidian a few months ago, after first moving to Quillpad from Google Notes when I decided to de-Google. It is a pretty powerful editor and note taker but I hadn't really looked into what it could do until I saw a post on Mastodon about using it to edit posts in Eleventy. Neat!
This is basically a test post to see if I can use Obsidian as a CMS. Let's see if it works.
Update: it works!

I've made this site to post about dev stuff I'm working on, and other fun things.
It's built using Eleventy which I've been playing around with a lot recently, especially trying to hook up WordPress as a CMS.
So that's probably what I'll be talking about. Oh and customising a Miyoo Mini Plus V3 with cool ROMs.
