## Comparison with Netlify CMS  

|  | Agit CMS | Netlify CMS |

|---|---|---|

| How/Where does the CMS run? | You start agitcms when you want to from terminal. Then it runs on your computer. | It always lives in website's /admin path (which heavily relies on the strength of your password) | 

| Who is the CMS for? | Developers | Writers

| Installation | Dead simple (npm i) | Pretty complicated 

| How are changes committed to a remote git repository? | Agit CMS is a simple CMS that reads from and writes to your filesystem. So you simply use [integrated terminal](/IntegratedTerminal.md) or whatever to run git command. | Push Publish button

| Can you paste(Control+v/Command+v) an image into the markdown editor? | O | X

| Can the markdown editor preview mathjax? | O | △ (requires additional setup)

| How do I preview a post real-time in my actual website? | Run a preview command specific to your static site generator in [integrated terminal](/IntegratedTerminal.md) | You can't.

| How customizable is the markdown editor? | [O](/Plugins.md) | △ (You can customize for sure by including  tag, by it is almost same as using browser extension. No access to editor API)

| Rich Text Editing? | X | O

| For multiple editors? | X | O

| Looks good? | O (Colors picked from github site) | X (100% personal opinion)

## Development

Agit CMS is built with React.js, Typescript, webpack, Material UI, and CodeMirror

### environment setup

Install: `git clone [email protected]:0xsuk/agitcms.git` && `npm i`  

Start: `npm run dev`  



### changelog

From version 2.0.0, Agit CMS became a web interface instead of a desktop app. This way you can use your favorite chrome extension like Grammarly.

  

### info

Agit CMS is still maintained, but is not actively developed. The latest version is mature enough for me.
