 # Sveltia CMS: Netlify/Decap CMS successor
 
-Sveltia CMS is a Git-based lightweight headless CMS under active development as a modern, powerful, direct replacement for Netlify CMS (now Decap CMS). While some features are still missing, we’ve already solved over 265 issues reported in the predecessor’s repository, from critical bugs to top feature requests.
+Sveltia CMS is a Git-based lightweight headless CMS under active development as a modern, powerful, direct replacement for Netlify CMS (now Decap CMS). We have picked up where they left off and have already solved over 265 issues reported in the predecessor’s repository, ranging from critical bugs to top feature requests.
 
-Built from the ground up, Sveltia CMS offers excellent UX, DX, performance, security and internationalization (i18n) support. Our numerous enhancements across the board ensure smooth daily workflows. This free, open source alternative to Netlify/Decap CMS is currently in public beta, with version 1.0 expected in early 2026.

-As we continue to add more features, we hope that our product will eventually become an appearing headless CMS option for everyone, not just for existing Netlify/Decap CMS users.
+We are continuing to address the [issues](https://github.com/decaporg/decap-cms/issues) reported in the predecessor’s repository and deliver the enhancements that Netlify CMS users have desired for a long time. Of the 3 successors, only Sveltia CMS is continuously developed, with [regular updates](https://github.com/sveltia/sveltia-cms/releases) and a [clear roadmap](#roadmap). For that reason, Sveltia CMS is the **true successor to Netlify CMS** — not just a spiritual successor or a mere alternative.

 - Our Gitea/Forgejo backend is high-performing because it retrieves multiple entries at once. It also supports Git LFS ([documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/administration/git-lfs-setup)). Additionally, the backend won’t cause 400 Bad Request errors due to the presence of `DRAFT_MEDIA_FILES` in file paths.[^222]

 ## Compatibility
 
-We are working to make Sveltia CMS compatible with Netlify/Decap CMS wherever possible so that more users can seamlessly switch to our modern alternative. In some casual use cases, Sveltia CMS can be used as a drop-in replacement for Netlify/Decap CMS with [just a one-line code update](#migration).

 However, 100% feature parity is never planned, and some features are still missing or will not be added due to performance, deprecation and other factors. Look at the compatibility info below to see if you can migrate now or in the near future.
 
 ### Current limitations
