Staticman is a Node.js web service that receives form submissions (user-generated content) from static websites and commits them as data files to GitHub or GitLab repositories. It supports optional moderation via pull requests, enabling dynamic features like comments on fully static sites.

Use cases

• add comments to a Jekyll or Hugo static blog
• accept form submissions on a GitHub Pages site
• collect user-generated content without a database
• moderate site submissions via pull requests
• self-host a comments API for a static site
• push form data as files to a GitLab repo

When to choose

• you run a static site on GitHub/GitLab Pages and want dynamic content
• you want comments or forms without a backend database
• you prefer content reviewed through Git pull requests
• you want to self-host the service on Heroku or your own infrastructure

When to avoid

• your site is not Git-powered or does not auto-deploy on push
• you need real-time dynamic content without commit-based deploys
• you need a full traditional CMS with a UI
• you cannot host a Node.js service or obtain Git access tokens
