Let your client edit your Astro site on a live preview (no CMS, no admin to build)
Astro is great for client sites, but I kept hitting the same wall: the site is fast, clean, hand built, and then the client can't change a single word without me. So they either learn git (no) or I go install a CMS and half rewrite the thing.
I wanted a middle ground, so I built unfreez.app (heads up, it's my own project).
How it works with Astro specifically: you connect the repo, it parses your .astro files and finds the editable stuff, text in your markup, image srcs, alt tags, the items in a const array your page maps over, SEO tags.
You pick what the client is allowed to touch and lock the rest. They sign in, edit on a live preview of their own site (WYSIWYG editor), hit publish, and each change lands as a normal commit on your branch. Your host redeploys like any other push.
The part I care about most: there's no LLM anywhere in the write path. Every edit is anchored to the exact spot in the source, and if anything is ambiguous it refuses to write instead of guessing. So it's not going to quietly mangle your components. Everything is a commit, one click to roll back, and if you keep pushing code it just re-anchors around your changes.
Works with .astro, plus content collections / markdown, and a bunch of other stacks (Next, Vue/Nuxt, React, plain HTML) if you mix.
It's live, free for 14 days per site. Would genuinely love feedback from people shipping Astro sites to non technical clients. Especially curious what it fails to detect on your messier setups, tell me and I'll dig in.
