What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Independently observed

Decap CMS

A self-hosted, Git-based content management system that works with static site generators. Content is stored in your Git repository rather than a proprietary database, with optional cloud features available via Decap Turbo for team collaboration.
