Hi guys, creator here. We started building DatoCMS as a side-project a year ago as Contentful was way too complicated for our web agency average brochure website client. We quietly launched the product 4 months ago: Since then we are getting steady signups and paying customers through organic traffic. Customer feedback has been an invaluable tool so far to route our development roadmap. Eager to receive some more feedback here :)

My feedback is: I was interested because I thought it was something that would allow me to "edit files in the browser", in the sense that it would keep the contents and a virtual file structure somewhat like what I keep for my static sites in my disk, but since I have to define a schema that is too complicated for me.

This is not a criticism nor a feature request.

There's other solutions that implement this approach.. Prose.io for example (http://prose.io/)

Prose.io does nothing GitHub itself doesn't offer.

But hey, maybe someone will write something like what I described. Maybe I will.
