@jyn@tech.lgbt sourcehut does the modular components thing i think k,
fossil does the everything in repo (but isn’t git compatible)
non technical people already kinda do editing from forge web UI in my experience, but wysiwyg would make that better. the problem is reconciling that sort of office/gdocs workflow with git commits, especially when it spans multiple files/wanting to build a usable PR

@cb@social.treehouse.systems so my thought is that the WYSIWYG editor wouldn't go through a PR, that it would automatically commit to whatever branch you're editing. that means you need a UI to restrict permissions, but that seems ok to me? I think almost everyone in practice has a "docs that couldn't possibly fail the build" folder. alternatively it could just checkpoint to localStorage until they hit "Save" at the top explicitly, and "Save" opens a PR for them. I don't think we need to worry about atomic commits for stuff like this, one commit is fine. say more about sourcehut? I can't find any docs about it being modular on https://man.sr.ht/.
