Why AI Editing Works Better on a Static Astro Content Site

The practical argument for using Astro plus MDX before adopting a runtime CMS for the official EmDash site.

For an early-stage content hub, AI does better work when:

  • content is file-based
  • structure is predictable
  • diffs are readable
  • deployment is static

That is why this project starts with Astro and MDX instead of full CMS infrastructure.
