2 custom CMSes from 2 great guys
Two very active guys in the indie web are making and using their own blog systems, sharing the process and open sourcing it; and I think that’s beautiful.
One of them is Jim Mitchell who I started paying attention to when he talked about a health thing I was going trough. I emailed him about it and he was incredibly kind to me. His system is called Clodd CMS.
The other one is Kev Quirk who is very active, especially in our beloved indie web. I believe we had no interaction but I admire his work and his tinkering posts. His system is called Pure Blog and it has some pretty neat features.
If you like these type of nerdy things, I encourage you to check them out. I believe it will be worth it if only for the inspiration that comes from their work.
