       | Hi HN! I'm Tony, CEO and cofounder of Cosmic (YC W19). Since
       | launching our headless CMS on HN during our YC batch
       | (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19330262), we've been
       | working toward finding better solutions to content management
       | problems.
       | 
       | Something we've noticed is that traditional CMS systems have long
       | relied on a draft/published model for content updates within a
       | single database. For many use cases this is fine, but many of our
       | users want to create multiple environments to stage updates for
       | review, preview the changes, then push the changes to production.
       | There wasn't an easy way to merge content changes between
       | environments in review stages (such as Development, Staging,
       | Production). This is especially true when you want to make large
       | bulk edits to lots of content.
       | 
       | For this reason, we built Merge Requests. Much like software
       | teams use Git to work in branches, make pull requests, and so on,
       | this lets our users work in isolated content environments to
       | add/update content, safely isolated from production. When ready,
       | a merge request is submitted to review content changes. Reviewers
       | can be added to review and approve updated content. Preview links
       | are available to preview bulk edits in the user-facing
       | application or website. After approvals, a merge is performed. If
       | needed, restoring to a previous version can be done in a few
       | clicks.
       | 
       | The feature is free to anyone with an account, but if you want to
       | see how it works without signing up (we know you, HN!), check out
       | the screenshot videos on the blog announcement (linked at the
       | top). To go deeper, sign up for a free account
       | (https://www.cosmicjs.com/). You can also install the Next Merge
       | Starter (https://github.com/cosmicjs/next-merge) which includes
       | merge request preview capabilities. Read the docs to get more
       | information on how to implement the merge request preview for
       | your applications currently available via the REST API and NPM
       | module (https://docs.cosmicjs.com/rest-api/objects.html#get-
       | objects-...).
       | 
       | This is work in progress and we would greatly appreciate any
       | feedback that you may have in the comments below!

         | Nice work! I was looking for a wiki system with a similar
         | workflow the other day and was surprised not to find anything.
         | If anyone knows of a wiki system that supports this kind of
         | review/merge flow I'm very interested.
