Integration of a Dynamic Post-Publishing Management System in Quarto

[NING3739]

Description

Background: After exploring Netlify CMS, I noticed its capability to dynamically modify blog content even after publishing. This flexibility allows for seamless post-publishing edits. In contrast, I observed that Quarto currently lacks the ability to make changes to published content post-release. Recognizing the value of this feature, I would like to propose the incorporation of a backend management system within Quarto.

Feature Request:

1. Dynamic Post-Publishing Edits:
   Enable a mechanism that permits users to make modifications to their published content even after it has been released. Similar to the Netlify CMS experience, this would allow users to update their blog articles without the need for a new release, enhancing the efficiency and agility of content management.

2. Real-time Content Updates:
   Implement a real-time update system that reflects changes made in the backend management system instantaneously on the published blog. This feature ensures that any edits or adjustments made by the user are immediately visible to the audience.

3. Version Control and Rollback:
   Provide the ability to maintain a version history of published content and offer a simple way to revert to previous versions if necessary. This ensures content creators can confidently experiment with updates while having a safety net to fall back on.

4. Seamless Backend Integration:
   Develop a user-friendly backend management interface that seamlessly integrates with Quarto. Users should be able to access this interface directly from Quarto, allowing for a cohesive content creation and management experience.

5. Granular Permissions:
   Implement granular permission settings within the backend management system, allowing users to control who can make edits and updates to specific articles. This enhances collaboration and maintains content integrity.

6. Notification System:
   Introduce a notification system that alerts users when new comments, edits, or interactions occur on their published blog articles. This helps content creators stay engaged and responsive to their audience.

7. SEO Optimization Tools:
   Integrate SEO optimization tools into the backend system, enabling users to refine meta titles, descriptions, and keywords for improved search engine visibility.

Conclusion:
The incorporation of a dynamic post-publishing management system in Quarto will bridge the gap between content creation and post-release updates, enhancing the user experience and empowering creators to maintain up-to-date, engaging, and impactful blog content.

Please consider this feature request in light of the evolving needs of content creators and the industry trends towards real-time content management. This addition would position Quarto as a cutting-edge tool that empowers users to manage their blog content efficiently and effectively.

Dear @NING3739, thanks for your feature request.

Quarto is a static website generator, like Jekyll and Hugo. None of them has the features that you describe.

Netlify CMS, as the name suggest, is a content management system, like WordPress and Drupal. They all have the features that you describe.

Quarto Pub is a hosting platform for static website generator, like GitHub Pages and GItLab Pages.

When you say Quarto, I believe you are talking about Quarto Pub, right?

Indeed, @NING3739 I think you are mistaken on what Quarto is.
Because of computation, you'll never have "live" rendering unless you have a "server"/"client" solution which would make the website no longer static thus would requires a special host (not possible on Netlify, GitHub Pages, etc.).

For short, what you are asking is not possible.
I'll keep this open for now, but likely to be closed in the future.

@cscheid In case you have some idea on this.
