Static web – back to the roots?

the biggest problem with JAMStack (everything including Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo, etc) is that there is no single place with a nice source code repo, CMS system and hosting.

Basically, to get your JamStack to work - you need to use Github + Github hooks -> Contentful/Cosmicjs -> Netlify.

I believe this is a missing and a killer product. People think "oh why reinvent Github". But a business guy who wants a fast website does not know what github is - he/she just need a single place to do everything.

the workflow that would work is - upload my code to dashboard (using git/FTP upload). Write content in CMS and see the website change within a few seconds. Reupload new code, and the website changes within a few seconds.

You should check out Gatsby Preview which is currently in some sort of limited public beta. https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2018-07-17-announcing-gatsby-p...
