What do you use to edit texts on a dashboard or cms?

My wife needed a website. I’m not much of a frontend coder but I looked at the price of squarespace for a year and decided to go that route with AI.

Website is Astro. I easily update sophisticated designs with Claude or Gemini cli.

Hosted for free on cloudflare, it’s super fast. Any git update deploys to the website in a minute.

Got an hosted email form with astro action.

The only thing left is integrating a CMS. I was thinking of keystatic but it’s not compatible with Astro 6 yet. That’s the issue with vibe coding a stack you don’t know as much, without realizing it picked a version of astro that was so new that some tools didnt quite integrate with it yet.

For some personal projects in the past I have used google sheets and cloudflare workers, I guess it could be called CMS, but it was quite restricted of course.

This project has a "shared" backend for the content management and its completely self built. Because there are many clients who use it to edit things its feasible to pay for the hosting.

For a solo project, id be quite interested if someone would build a native editor that can be just hooked with git, so it would make it possible to run the site serverless. Maybe one already exists. "IDE" for static websites.

Are you planning on having just simple content as markdown files, or your own database + CMS?

I want to avoid a database, so it would be file storage on git for content.
