So, it is not a dashboard for managing a static site...rather, it is a dashboard for managing static content that gets ultimately served to visitors via node...is that right? (This is not a criticism, just confirming.)
I was thinking Vapid is like http://getlektor.com and is a static renderer with a built-in admin UI. But you maybe correct that node.js is serving the files.
I loved lektor when it first came on the scene...but can't recall why I stopped using it. The concept is great: admin UI that outputs static files! For some reason, i stopped using it, and the last couple of years have been using hugo...maybe i should revisit lektor. Thanks for this reminder!
