## What it is
A Jekyll plugin that adds a CMS-style graphical admin interface for authoring content and managing Jekyll sites. It consists of a Ruby-based HTTP API for Jekyll and filesystem operations plus a React-based JavaScript front end served at /admin.

## Use cases
- edit jekyll posts through a gui instead of markdown files
- give non-technical writers a cms for a static jekyll site
- manage jekyll collections, pages, and data files from a browser
- administer a locally served jekyll site without editing files by hand
- hide or relabel admin sidebar sections for a jekyll site

## When to choose
- you run Jekyll and want a lightweight, self-hosted admin UI without a database
- content editors need a friendly interface for a static site
- you want a plugin that installs via Gemfile with no external services

## When to avoid
- you need a full headless CMS with roles, workflows, or cloud hosting
- your site is not built with Jekyll
- you only deploy via CI and never serve Jekyll locally or on a server

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: web-framework, http-server, gui, editor, documentation
- domain: cms, web-development, developer-tools, self-hosted
