Tina Migration Guide

Tina is very customizable and extensible due to it's open-source nature.

FAQ

How are Tina and Forestry different?

Forestry and Tina share a lot in common but there are some key differences.

  • Tina's UI is an open-source single page application that you host with your site (i.e. mysite.com/admin).
  • Tina does not have a preview button like Forestry. If previewing is needed, we recommend setting up visual editing for a live preview.
  • Tina only supports GitHub repositories at this time.
  • Tina offers an API so you can query for your content much like you would with a traditional headless CMS. This supports complex queries (filter, sort, etc), server-side rendering, client-side rendering, and incremental static regeneration.
