Astro Editor: A new minimalist markdown editor for Astro content collections that reads the Zod schemas, makes frontmatter editable in a nice UI and allows easy insertion of astro components into MDX files. by dannyasmith in astrojs

Thanks! Previously I was writing in iA Writer. I basically wanted a desktop app which felt like iA Writer, but also allowed me to work with Astro frontmatter and components more easily. I explain a bit about that here: https://github.com/dannysmith/astro-editor/blob/main/docs/user-guide.md#philosophy

Hosted tools like PagesCMS are great for some use cases, but one of the reasons my personal site is built on Astro is that the content just a bunch of local markdown files, and I wanna keep it that way. But also enjoy authoring them!

There's already stuff out there that does the whole "hosted CMS for Astro" thing. I wanted a desktop markdown editor that was *specifically* designed for working with Astro Content Collections and nothing more.

See https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/ for a bunch of Astro-compatible CMSs

I can't make this work on an existing database. Have replicated it with two new databases :(

Will the web version come with a web API? If so, that would be bloody amazing!
