zaystatic
A Git-based content panel for Next.js. Your content stays as plain files in your repository; editors change it in a panel and zaystatic commits straight to your branch. No database, no hosted service.

About the project
Even for a small site, content management usually means a database and a separate service. zaystatic does the opposite: content stays in your repository as JSON and Markdown files, and the panel gives editors forms generated from a schema, per-language content, drag-and-drop lists, typed blocks and a visual page builder that draws pages with the site's own components. Every save becomes a commit on your branch, with an optional pull-request workflow. Images go to an S3-compatible bucket or to the repository. The documentation site's own pages are edited with zaystatic. The package is an alpha: GitHub sign-in, the pull-request workflow and S3/R2 storage have not yet been tested against real services.
My role
I write the whole package: the server, the panel UI, the schema helpers, the tests and the documentation site. I publish it to npm.
