What Outstatic is

Outstatic is a content management system for websites built around Markdown. Its editor works with Markdown and MDX files in GitHub repositories, where it stores content directly without requiring a database or server. Content is organized into Collections, Documents, and Singletons; a Singleton can hold a unique item such as a homepage or site settings. The editor includes custom fields and AI completion. The homepage lists support for Docsify, VuePress, MkDocs, SvelteKit, Next.js, Hugo, Docusaurus, Nuxt, Astro, Hexo, Eleventy, VitePress, Zola, Nextra, Fumadocs, Markdoc, and Contentlayer. Outstatic can be self-hosted or used through the hosted PRO dashboard. GitHub sign-in is documented through OAuth applications or GitHub Apps; PRO adds Google login and email sign-in. A PRO project API key can connect a self-hosted instance to AI completion, member management, additional login options, automatic content setup, and a managed GitHub relay. The free plan costs nothing. PRO is $9.99 a month, billed at $9.99/user/mo, and eligible new subscriptions have a 14-day trial. Data-fetching functions are available only for Next.js projects. The license does not allow selling access to an Outstatic installation or providing Outstatic hosting services.
