Admin GUI #623
Description
Curious on thoughts for creating a Admin GUI for Gatsby sites.
My initial thought was something like what forestry.io does with Jekyll projects: https://forestry.io/
But free and open sourced. Basically, hook into a github repo, push permissions, editor in GUI and away you go.
But, I actually wonder if instead of a web based solution, if a desktop app might actually be a better fit. It would make it so a github repository isn't absolutely necessary, all files could be local and on host, nowhere else.
Could have it read a specific directory, parse what files are currently there, set up a connection to a hosting provider.
Could use any of the many markdown wsiwyg editors out there for post creation/editing.
'Preview' button would run local dev server. 'Publish' would run bundle and push to host.
Right now I'm thinking this is an Electron App.
I'd like some feedback on what people think about web vs. desktop solutions, and a little bit of guidance on what they like to see. I'd be willing to take an initial stab at making something like this if there is enough interest.
