Plain is a Git-native CMS that treats a GitHub repository as its database and uses static files as an API, eliminating the need for a traditional server or database. It offers a browser-based admin interface with AI-assisted editing, version control via Git, and a plugin system, all built with vanilla JavaScript and minimal dependencies. Its innovative combination of Git workflows, static site generation, and AI operability makes it a compelling tool for developers and content creators seeking a low-maintenance, cost-free publishing solution.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, content creators, devops
