the stateful tools
your static site cannot provide.
Start with publishing or one interactive surface. Add reader analytics, audience capture, and moderation when they become useful — all in the same workspace.

You do not need to adopt the whole toolkit. Pick the outcome your site needs now; the rest will still be there later.

Write and schedule a Markdown-backed post, then trigger the static-site build when it is ready.

community
Reader participation without handing your traffic to a third-party JS monolith.
Comments
Threaded replies. Moderation queue, approve/reject/delete. Auto-close after N days. No reader signup — they type, they send.
Reactions
Hearts, claps, bookmarks, thumbs. Per-page, anonymous, lightweight. Signal without the noise.
Polls
Multi-choice, anonymous, real-time tallies. Ask "Should I write part two?" at the bottom of a post and see the response.
Feedback boards
Readers post suggestions, you triage with status tracking (open / planned / shipped). Public or private.
growth
The widgets that turn visitors into a direct audience around your site.
Email subscriptions
Double opt-in, per-post notifications or weekly digest, and one-click unsubscribe. Build a direct audience around your site.
Waitlist
Pre-launch signups with status tracking. See who is waiting and move each entry from pending to invited or joined.
Forms
Contact forms, surveys, custom fields. Honeypot + AI spam checks. Submissions stay actionable in the Jamwidgets Inbox with their history.
publishing
A focused headless CMS underneath the widgets. Write inTipTap, store in Markdown, schedule or publish immediately. Drafts for already-published posts — edit, review, publish the diff. Generate a clean excerpt from the opening text when you need one.
On publish we trigger your static site's build so the post goes live without you touching CI. Image uploads handled, asset URLs returned. Your repo stays clean.
