Netlify CMS or Forestry.io?

Hey guys!

First post here. I'm a little bit unsure of what comes next but thought asking for advice here would do me good!

I'm doing some ground-laying research for an upcoming personal project (a portfolio + tech blog combination for personal branding and online presence). My "plan" is to create a simple design myself and generate a static website around it, and handle a small blogging environment without too much hassle.

So far I've read a lot about SSG and what revolves around it, and I'd like to go with:

  • VueJS
  • Gridsome as SSG tool
  • Git (of course)
  • Netlify for deployment, hosting and such, because it honestly looks like a game-changer from what I've read. (also: free plan, yay!)

Knowing all this, I'm trying to figure which Git-based CMS to use for the blogging part (plus portfolio sections content, for easier updates, versionning, and such).

I'm hesitating between Forestry (https://forestry.io/) and Netlify CMS (https://www.netlifycms.org/).

I've read lots of good stuff about both of them, and Netlify CMS seems loosely coupled (if coupled at all) with Netlify, so both options seem reasonable.

I would really appreciate some dev feedbacks on any of these two CMS solutions (pros, cons...) to help me choose!

Apart from that, remarks about the project stack I'm envisioning will be gladly heard, as long as they're polite and constructive!

Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to reading from you :)
