Introducing Astro Studio CMS: A Community-Driven CMS for Astro Studio
Studio CMS - a dedicated content management system (CMS) built on top of Astro’s latest product, Astro Studio. This project was developed by Adam, Dreyfus, and Jumper, three passionate members of the Astro community.
Why another CMS?
While Astro’s content capabilities are powerful, we recognized a need for a more streamlined and user-friendly CMS solution within the Astro ecosystem. Many Astro users, especially those coming from more traditional CMS backgrounds, have expressed a desire for a dedicated CMS that can seamlessly integrate with Astro projects.
Astro Studio CMS was born out of this need, providing a content management platform that is tailor-made for Astro. By building on top of Astro Studio, we’re able to offer a CMS experience that feels native to the Astro workflow, making it easier for both developers and content creators to collaborate on Astro-powered projects.
An Experimental Endeavor
It’s important to note that Astro Studio CMS is an experimental project that heavily relies on the @astrojs/db package, which is currently in active development and not yet considered stable. As a result, you should expect a significant number of breaking changes as the project continues to evolve.
We believe that by building on the cutting-edge features of Astro Studio, we can create a powerful and innovative CMS solution. However, this also means that Astro Studio CMS may not be suitable for mission-critical or production-ready projects at this stage. We encourage you to use caution and thoroughly test the CMS in your own projects before deploying it to a live environment.
Leveraging the Power of Astro
Astro Studio CMS is built from the ground up to seamlessly integrate with Astro’s robust and efficient framework. By harnessing the power of Astro, we’ve created a CMS solution that aligns perfectly with the Astro ecosystem, providing a solid foundation for building and scaling Astro-powered applications.
Key Features
Astro Foundation: Astrolicious leverages Astro’s robust and efficient framework, providing a solid base for building and scaling applications.
Enhanced Markdown: We’ve incorporated ‘Marked’ with support for extensions, enriching the markdown experience with greater flexibility and functionality.
Shiki Syntax Highlighting: Astrolicious offers Shiki-powered syntax highlighting, ensuring your code is both visually appealing and easy to read. This is especially useful in non-Cloudflare environments due to bundle size considerations.
Markdoc Integration: In addition to ‘Marked’, Astrolicious provides an alternative with Markdoc, offering users a choice for their markdown processing needs.
Secure Studio Database: All data is securely housed within the Astro Studio database, ensuring accessibility only to authorized users with studio.astro.build login credentials.
Built-in Authentication: Astrolicious features built-in authentication with support for multiple platforms, including Local and Github, enhancing security and user management (currently in development).
Unpic Image Service: Astrolicious includes a free and efficient image service, Unpic, which makes managing external URLs straightforward, with support for major CDNs.
A Community-Driven Effort
At the heart of Astrolicious is a deep commitment to community involvement and collaboration. We believe that the development of Astro Studio CMS should be a collective effort, drawing on the diverse talents and perspectives of the Astro community.
To that end, we’ve handed the repository Astrolicious as an open organization, welcoming contributors of all skill levels to get involved and help shape the future of this CMS. Whether you’re a seasoned Astro developer or new to the ecosystem, we encourage you to join our Discord server and explore ways to contribute.
By fostering a sense of shared ownership and investment, we aim to create a CMS that truly reflects the needs and desires of the Astro community. Your feedback, ideas, and code contributions will be invaluable as we work to build a feature-rich and user-friendly content management solution for Astro.
So don’t be a stranger - come join us on this journey and help us realize the full potential of AstroStudio CMS!
