Sitepins

About Sitepins

Sitepins is an open source, Git-based headless CMS for static and vibe-coded sites. It connects to a Git repository and provides a visual editor for content stored as Markdown, MDX, JSON, YAML, or TOML, with every save committed to Git so changes are versioned, trackable, and reversible. It supports static site generators including Astro, Next.js, and Hugo, and offers a live preview, draft/publish scheduling, SEO controls, media management, and shortcode support. Sitepins Cloud runs in the browser with no installation required, or the stack can be self-hosted via Docker Compose.

The product targets several groups: individuals managing personal blogs or sites without a database, companies that want marketing teams to edit content through roles and permissions, review/revert workflows, and branch previews while engineering retains control, and agencies or freelancers handing off client sites built with tools like Claude, Lovable, or Replit. Client-facing features include email invitations without requiring a GitHub account, self-serve undo, and separate workspaces per client or organization.

Additional features include multi-user collaboration with live cursors and presence indicators, native support for 12 languages, and an AI assistant that connects to a user-supplied API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or Grok) for generating or rewriting content within the editor.
