Building a Web Page That Edits Itself

This is lovely, but I think falls down the moment you want any generated content (table of contents being a typical first example).

This is an awesome idea and really resonates with me.

I did something similar for my site:

You can edit and rebuild the site from within the browser, then download a .zip that contains everything. The editor can even edit itself.

Beyond self-modifying sites being just plain cool, there's a longevity aspect to it that I find very important as well
