Heads up, GitLab (just like GitHub) no longer allows cloning a repository via HTTP with just a password.
This means that to import and work with private repositories within Mattrbld, you will now need to use a personal access token instead of your password to authenticate.
You can learn more how to create them here: https://docs.gitlab.com/user/profile/personal_access_tokens/#create-a-personal-access-token
The only scopes Mattrbld requires are: read_repository and write_repository
Using an access token always was the recommended approach, now it is enforced.

It’s already April, kind of hard to believe. 😳
In any case, here’s a very broad picture of what’s happening with Mattrbld: https://mattrbld.com/blog/2025/forward-momentum/

Worried about the situation in the US? Feeling like your website or content management system are too dependent on US companies and infrastructure? 😱
Maybe give Mattrbld a shot. 😉 It’s a free and open-source headless CMS made in Germany.

Updated #introduction (now with screenshots)!
Static websites are great—until you want to add a new item to the navigation or publish a new blog post from your phone. That's where #mattrbld comes in.
It is an open-source content management system that makes it convenient to manage your content from different devices without locking you in, preserving your privacy and freedom.

The day has come, Mattrbld 1.0 is out. 🥳 And that means that not only has it left beta status, it’s now also fully open-source. 👀
What is Mattrbld, you ask? It’s a #decentralised headless content management system for static websites, blogs, portfolios, and much more.
Read the blog post for some more insights and check out the changelog to see what’s new in this release. 😊

If the whole #wordpress situation has you looking into alternatives, maybe give #Mattrbld a shot. 😊
It’s definitely not a 1:1 replacement—but it will not lock you into a platform that may go haywire despite being open source, as your website will work independently from the content management system.
A new approach is not worse just because it’s different.
#HeadlessCMS are the future. 😊

Hmm, I wonder what’s so special about the sidebar in this project. 👀

The year is fast on its way into its final quarter, which means the #FOSS release of #Mattrbld is coming closer.
A big part of that is the licence, of course. I want Mattrbld (and potential derivatives) to be accessible to all, forever. Which is why I’m considering the #AGPL licence (since technically it’s a SaaS product).
Is there anything that would speak against this choice? Are there some special considerations to take before applying the licence? 🤔

Dark mode for the Docs? A table of contents for each article? **And** a search bar? 👀
Is it Christmas already? 😳
The #Mattrbld website is getting some upgrades to be ready for the #FOSS launch. 👍

2024 is nearly halfway over already, can you believe it? 😳 In January, I announced my plans to release Mattrbld under a #FOSS licence by the end of the year and I’ve been steadily chipping away at that for the past months.
Here’s a small update on what happened so far and what will be up next:
