About Outstatic
Outstatic is an open source dashboard for editing Markdown and MDX files that live in a GitHub repository. It gives a static site a real editing screen while the content stays in Git.
What it does
Outstatic adds a dashboard to your site where you write, edit and publish posts. Each change is saved as a commit in your repository, so GitHub remains the source of truth. You can add custom fields for metadata and product details, and an optional AI helper can draft text.
Key features
- Dashboard for Markdown and MDX files
- Custom fields for metadata and product details
- Email or Google login for clients
- Git commits handled for editors automatically
- Works with many static site generators
Who it's for
Developers who build static sites with Next.js, Astro, Hugo or similar tools, and who want to give clients a simple editor. It also suits small content teams that do not want a database.
Pricing and good to know
The core project is open source, and it is self-hosted with no database to run. An optional PRO version adds social login, roles and AI-assisted writing. Clients can edit without a GitHub account, since Outstatic handles the commits.
