[Discussion] GUI for netlify-shortener with git-gateway

See original GitHub issue

not a bug, not a feature request, just an idea.

the way NetlifyCMS works is it is a drop-in UI on top of your existing site to help you manage your markdown based content, including creating and merging pull requests for content, all within a GUI. It does this using the Git Gateway. So you never touch your terminal or editor and have a wordpress like experience on your completely static/serverless/git based site.

this strikes me as not too different from the flow needed to edit and manage url shorteners. we just need a GUI that understands _redirects and can link to Git Gateway.

copying @erquhart and @bcomnes who may know more about feasibility. and of course anyone who wants to take this up is super welcome

(Apologies if it’s bad form to comment on a closed issue. I thought it better than to open a new, similar, one…)

I can totally see the reasoning for staying CLI-only. However: I would love to implement this for my team of which some people are not comfortable with either the CLI or Git (or even have access to the repo).

Having some GUI to manage the redirects would be great for them.

Although ‘feasible’, at the moment the _redirects are not editable in Netlify CMS, right?
