Prose.io is a completely client side editor that authenticates against github to allow you to directly edit your markdown files in the repo. It has a tiny tiny server-side component that exists only to complete the oauth handshake (for the remote server to have something to call back to), called gate keeper. It's completely open source and self-hostable. They also make a webhook so you can trigger rebuilding on your own server. They built it to be able to replace their need on a traditional CMS when they switched from Drupal to Node.JS many years ago. http://developmentseed.org/blog/2012/07/27/build-cms-free-websites/ http://developmentseed.org/blog/2012/07/27/build-cms-free-we... DevelopmentSeed was the company that eventually spun off into MapBox.com, the open source open data map tile hosted service. They have a long history with the open source community, and are spearheading a lot of the open source mapping stack by employing the lead developers of mapnik, leaflet and much more. Other than Mapbox.com and Prose.io they also built : TileMill - https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ - An node-webkit based map designer Id - http://ideditor.com/ http://ideditor.com/ - The OpenStreetMap editing interface (disclaimer: I used to work for them, and left around the time they spun off into mapbox)
