What is it?

Outstatic is a content management dashboard for Markdown and MDX websites. Editors write and publish posts in a visual editor, and each change is automatically committed to the GitHub repository that holds the site, so the content deploys alongside the code.

It avoids a database or hosted CMS backend entirely. Content lives as files in your repo, and GitHub handles storage and authentication. You can use the hosted dashboard, or install it inside an existing Next.js project and keep the workflow close to your codebase.

The editor is built on Tiptap and supports custom fields for structured content, plus AI completions through OpenAI or the Vercel AI Gateway.
