Prose
Prose is a content management system that uses GitHub repositories as the backend for storing and versioning Markdown files. It serves as a headless interface that separates content authoring and media uploads from the static site generation process.
The system provides a visual Markdown editor with a formatting toolbar and real-time previews, allowing for non-technical content authoring. It enables the management of document drafts, translations, and publishing cycles through a Git-based workflow.
The platform includes tools for GitHub content and media management, including a web-based file browser and drag-and-drop asset uploads. It supports schema-driven input fields and frontmatter-based metadata management to standardize data entry.
