Posto

A fast and simple desktop editor for static, markdown-based personal websites. Posto lives a level up from a traditional IDE or code editor, enabling non-programmers to easily update a site built for them or serving as a more pleasant way for developers to make frequent updates to their static sites.

Key features

• Rich text editor and site preview side-by-side
• "Done for you" local environment setup
  • Allows non-programmers to get a website running just as a developer would, removing limitations on what can be built while still allowing for CMS-style content updating
• Native Astro support, which allows for unique features like:
  • Rich text .mdx editing, enabling non-technical users to drop in custom components alongside traditional markdown in an easy-to-use interface
  • Markdown schemas based on content collections, intelligently rendering specific field inputs or option dropdowns based on the actual site schema (for both markdown frontmatter and custom component props)
• Easy site publish flow, making site updates simple for everyone
• SEO and social previews
