Tina CMS is open-source, content management system for static sites.

It adds a visual editing experience to your existing website (with support for a few frameworks), making it easier for content creators to manage and update content.

Tina CMS is, just like Spinal, a Git-based CMS. This means that all changes to content are tracked and can be rolled back if necessary.
