Creating a JAMstack Site with Open Authoring Using Netlify CMS (Repost)

Leverage the power of the community by creating a JAMstack site that anyone can edit and contribute using NetlifyCMS's open authoring. Community is powerful. The internet has often succeeded by channeling that power into "crowdsourcing" for things like raising funds or even managing content.
