What is Wagtail Gatsby

Wagatil Gatsby is an experimental library for intergrating Gatsby and Wagtail CMS (in conjunction with Wagtail Grapple). It provides the three features:

• Detect when pages are published and send a POST request to a desired HTTP endpoint (Netlify, Travis CI, etc).
• Creates a ModelAdmin that allows you to manually deploy to your frontend host.
• Gatsby Image processing (Now Deprecated, Please see gatsby-source-wagatil's repo on local image processing).
