ApostropheCMS
"ApostropheCMS is an open-source, Node.js-based headless CMS built for true in-context editing that allows editors to edit content directly on the page. Built for developers and editors alike, ApostropheCMS pairs that editing experience with a modular, extensible architecture that keeps editors productive and developers in flow. ApostropheCMS integrates with Astro, which is the layer that lets developers bring whatever frontend framework they want instead of locking into one. For simpler projects, native JSX and Nunjucks templating are also supported in the standalone version.
