This is awesome! Admin panels are fine to me, but honestly this is a much more beautiful and productive approach. Very cool project.

Is an Astro template/integration a possibility? I'd love an editable static site that triggers Netlify builds. I actually have an Astro project on Netlify CMS that I wouldn't mind moving to this.

I edit the website and then refresh and changes don’t persist. Obviously they don’t want people editing their production website, but is it otherwise supposed to persist? If not, what’s the point?

For this reason I find the demo a bit confusing.

The repo notes that persistence requires editors to in with the (shared?) admin user and password.

Although the pitch is "CMS-free", this is a Postgres- and S3-backed content management system.

The in-place editing is extremely cool.

This is the same flow as Frontpage had in 1998. You edited a live-edited your site, and when you clicked publish, a static site was deployed to the world.

Sure, and Concrete5 in 2003[1]. Hard to beat editing directly (as long as you also have authentication handled) though it might be slower, if you have to tiptoe around formatting.
