## Notes

Keystatic is a content editor for Markdown, Markdoc, MDX, YAML and JSON files in a codebase. It adds an admin UI to a Next.js, Astro or Remix project and writes the edited content back as files, so the project needs no database. In local mode the files sit on the developer's machine; in GitHub mode the same files are edited in a GitHub repository.

## Worth knowing

The GitHub mode page says the host must be able to run Node.js for Keystatic's API routes, and the [installation guide](https://keystatic.com/docs/installation-next-js) for Next.js says the same about the hosting provider.

Keystatic Cloud is a hosted add-on that, according to its [docs page](https://keystatic.com/docs/cloud), simplifies GitHub authentication for a project and offers opt-in products such as image storage.
