Blogging and CMS functionality for gamma sites
D
David B Stewart
I started this website with plans to do a blog that people can comment on each part of the website. Does Gamma have built in blog capabilities? This is my gamma website - https://FindTheTrueChurchOfTheBible.today

Add CMS features to Gamma sites

I love Sites! Great tech you guys are working on here. I really am looking forward to see where you take this. I would love to move my entire website to your platform - what prevents me from doing so is I need a blog style CMS for writing articles - so better organization of pages, better page menu management. The templates are great, it would be nice to have a template that allows you to shows the pages you've created. Right now, I have to create this manually (add image, text, link) - it would be great if this could be auto generated similar to what Wordpress does and allows you to show posts on a page. Really love it - you have a fan!

If we could add Javascript, we could embed Disqus https://disqus.com
I also would like to embed https://rss.app feeds also
Both only require a line of javascript embed.

One hack would be to link to individual gammas from your website with comments enabled on those. Users would need gamma accounts to comment

Hey David. Great idea, but we don't currently support traditional blogging capabilities with commenting

Nik Payne (Gamma design) I did a search and found this company https://dropinblog.com/integration/ - that makes a claim you can add it easy via html, the price is to high for me though https://dropinblog.com/integration/
the search also had this website with other alternatives https://usersnap.com/blog/wordpress-alternatives/

Thanks for the feedback Ro Chittick!
Candidly I don't know if we will add CMS features to Gamma sites in the near term. One of the things we're still trying to figure out is how simple vs complex we want our sites to be. There are many wordpresses, and for every bit of power we (and our users) pay a complexity tax. So I think it's still TBD.
But I imagine there might be ways to make creating bloglike content faster and more efficient. So we may be able to help there
Cheers,
Nik

Thanks Nik Payne (Gamma design) for the reply and makes sense! I appreciate the transparency. It would be like having a separate product within a product!
I'll continue my search for a tool or WordPress plugin with similar functionality. While there are plenty of WP plugins available, the AI-driven layout generation, along with its ability to drop in and summarize my copy, is a game-changer. As you mentioned, it significantly speeds up and streamlines the creation of blog-like content!
I also love the social content creation option!
Cheers to you and team as well!
