Prose
Web-based content editor that creates, edits and deletes the files of a website stored in a GitHub repository.
Prose is a web-based content editor for files in GitHub repositories. It creates, edits and deletes files and saves the changes to GitHub, and it runs entirely in the browser. The hosted version at prose.io is served from GitHub Pages and uses a separate service, Gatekeeper, to authenticate with the GitHub API.
To run it on a developer machine, the contributing guide has the repository cloned, npm i run, and the app started with npm start. Node.js is the listed prerequisite.
Worth knowing
The README says the project is looking for new maintainers. Because Prose runs entirely on the client, it relies on a Gatekeeper to authenticate with the GitHub API. The deployment page describes setting up your own instance.
