Idea: Empress Editor UI #106
Comments
Some prior art to go on would be the Netlify CMS My thought is a simultaneous preview could be achieved with a simple timer and pushing content to localstorage (which was what I have used for previous "live previews" across different tabs/windows. |

I think it would really drive adoption of Empress if there was an easy way to edit and manage publishing without having to be familiar with GitHub and Markdown. An admin page for Empress Blogs would be perfect for non-technical people to feel comfortable publishing, and it could be implemented without requiring a backend, I think.
Since Empress is entirely driven by the creation of files for its four content types (authors, pages, posts, tags), the entire thing could be driven by the GitHub API. This way, users would not have to even understand how GitHub works. They could hit the Netlify deploy button to get a new project, then our documentation could direct them to the URL for the admin dashboard, where they would authenticate with GitHub and be able to fully manage the Empress site.
I really believe this would be a gamechanger for Empress to be able to compare itself to more popular platforms that are entirely designed for non-technical users.
