Hey Product Hunt, I'm David V. Kimball. I made Vault CMS, a free setup that turns Obsidian into a CMS for Astro sites, along with the Astro Modular and Axis themes.
Zeku is the app I wanted after all that. Point it at your Astro project and it reads the collections in your content.config.ts, so every post gets the right frontmatter fields, types, and dates. You write in live preview, see the real page through your own astro dev, run an SEO check, and publish with your own git.
It's plain files in your repo. No account, no database, and no AI in the editor, purposefully. Build your site with whatever tools you like, then write your own words here.
It's $19 for a founding license through October 31, then $39, paid once with lifetime updates. The 14-day trial doesn't lock anything when it ends. It's on Windows today, and macOS is in testing now.
I'd love to hear how you write for your Astro site today, and what would get you to switch. I'm here all day to answer anything.
this is really cool looking forward to trying this out. congrats on the launch david
