Acrosite vs Outstatic: a simpler Outstatic alternative
Outstatic is useful for simple Git-backed Markdown/MDX content workflows. Acrosite is designed as a broader publishing operations layer for agencies, website owners, and content teams that need review, scheduling, Client Reviewers, Publish Logs, Posts, Pages, Custom Content Types, and GitHub publishing.
May fit simple, developer-led Git-backed Markdown/MDX content editing close to the repository.
May fit teams that need publishing operations — scheduling, review, and client/team access on top of Git-backed content.
The right choice depends on whether you need a simple repo-connected CMS or a broader content publishing workflow.
