What we mined

Section titled “What we mined”

Three files from the vault:

  1. Cyberbase Development/Cyberbase Development.md — 300+ curated links, the richest single source in the vault
  2. Cyberbase Tech Stack/Cyberbase Tech Stack.md — defined stack at a high level
  3. Cyberbase JS & Services/ — (cross-referenced by Development, overlapping content)

Defined tech stack (prior state)

Section titled “Defined tech stack (prior state)”

From the Tech Stack file, the user’s early thinking:

CMS landscape (from Development file — 20+ options)

Section titled “CMS landscape (from Development file — 20+ options)”

The vault has curated links for these CMS options. Bold = most detail in the vault:

  • Strapi — extensive: RBAC, CKEditor/TinyMCE integrations, Cloudinary, Obsidian-to-Strapi export plugin
  • Sveltia CMS — Decap fork, linked to GitHub + Jamstack listing
  • Pages CMS — simple git-backed, linked
  • Tina CMS — extensive: Astro integration, self-hosted auth, Git providers, database adapters, co-authoring, Netlify Functions hosting, custom auth
  • Keystone — linked
  • Coisas — GitHub pages editor, linked to Jamstack
  • Sanity — auth, roles, API reference linked
  • Craft CMS — public registration, fields plugins
  • Magnolia CMS — enterprise DXP
  • Gentics Mesh — self-hosted, auth docs linked
  • Decap CMS — Open Authoring doc linked (key feature)
  • Atomic Server — linked
  • Squidex — open-source headless, linked
  • Manifest CMS — 1-file micro-backend
  • Flextype — flat-file CMS
  • Prismic — headless with page builder
  • Contember — business apps
  • Dossier — toolkit for building headless CMS
  • Hygraph — GraphQL headless

Not in vault — freshly researched:

  • EmDash CMS — built by Cloudflare. Full-stack TypeScript CMS based on Astro (same SSG as cyberbaser). Announced as the “spiritual successor to WordPress”. Serverless (Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2). AI-agent-native: content stored as portable text (structured JSON, not HTML strings) so agents can read/modify/generate content without parsing markup. Isolated plugin workers with granular permissions — solves the WordPress “96% of security issues from plugins” problem. Beta v0.1.0 (2026). Very relevant to cyberbaser: same Astro + Cloudflare stack, AI-agent-first design, and the portable-text content model is interesting for the translation layer (R06) and CMS choice (R02).

Auth landscape (from Development file — 20+ options)

Section titled “Auth landscape (from Development file — 20+ options)”
  • Better-Auth — linked (newer, gaining traction)

  • Auth0 — linked
  • Okta — linked
  • Clerk — pricing page linked
  • Ory/Kratos — cloud-native identity, detailed

  • Hanko — pricing linked
  • Oso — authorization layer, use cases
  • Fief — docs + roadmap linked
  • Cerbos — open-source authz, developer-focused
  • Bitwarden Passwordless — linked
  • Dex — federated OIDC provider
  • FusionAuth — full platform linked
  • Stytch — identity platform + fraud prevention
  • Identity providers: Keycloak, Authentik (with Wiki.js integration!), Authelia

Sync & CRDT landscape (from Development file — 50+ links)

Section titled “Sync & CRDT landscape (from Development file — 50+ links)”

Concepts & theory:

  • CRDTs vs OT (extensive comparison links)
  • Local-first principles (Ink & Switch manifesto, multiple conference recaps)
  • Conflict resolution strategies (CouchDB-style, Hasura-based)

Libraries & frameworks:

  • Yjs — shared editing, most linked
  • Automerge — CRDT library, v2 docs
  • SyncedStore — Yjs-based reactive store
  • BlockSuite — from AFFiNE, CRDT-native content editing
  • OctoBase — CRDT database from AFFiNE
  • ShareDB — OT-based realtime database

Sync engines:

  • ElectricSQL, PowerSync, Turso (local-first SQLite), RxDB
  • Building offline realtime sync engine (reference gist)

Text editors with collab:

  • CKEditor, Tiptap, Conclave, BlockSuite, Code-Sync, Banger-Editor (Bangle.io)

Note-taking apps with collab:

  • AFFiNE (BlockSuite + OctoBase), AppFlowy, Outline, Boost Note, Standard Notes, Bangle.io

SSG landscape

Section titled “SSG landscape”
  • Jekyll, Hugo, Astro (primary — extensive links), 11ty/Eleventy
  • Starlight theme links (starlight-theme-obsidian by Fevol, astro-loader-obsidian)
  • awesome-astro curated list

Hosting

Section titled “Hosting”
  • Netlify (Astro integration docs), Cloudflare Pages (current choice), GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Firebase, DigitalOcean, Vercel

What this mining tells us

Section titled “What this mining tells us”
  1. CMS evaluation (R02) is well-seeded. We have links for 20+ CMSes. Tina and Strapi have the most detail. Decap Open Authoring is the known quantity. Emdash needs fresh research.
  2. Auth evaluation (R03) is comprehensive. 20+ options linked. Authentik’s Wiki.js integration is interesting for cyberbaser context. Better-Auth is the newer contender.
  3. Sync/CRDT research (R05) is DEEP. 50+ links covering theory + implementations. The question isn’t “what exists” but “do we need it for v1.” If yes, Yjs/Automerge + BlockSuite are the strongest candidates.
  4. SSG choice is settled. Astro + Starlight is deployed and working. No need to re-evaluate unless R06 (translation layer) reveals a showstopper.
  5. Hosting is settled. Cloudflare Pages is configured and working.
