I was wondering if GitLab provides a Markdown editor that could be used by non-technical users directly from the web interface? Something like Prose[1], Dillinger[2] or StackEdit[3].
Of course you could argue if it's in scope for a project like GitLab, but it means that I could use static site generators for projects where non-technical users need to edit the content without ever thinking about a CMS.
Would be nice:
- if it would also provide an easy upload/commit of images to some configurable directory from that Markdown editor;
- configure a content-editor user that's restricted to a subset of directories;
- allow the user to preview the full website without pushing to the live environment;
- use a tag or branch to mark the version that can be pushed to the live environment.
It would probably be the most flexible CMS that's available right now.
