Can’t take you enough, @r3trosteve! Will most certainly try out Chisel. Right now I have a setup using TinaCMS along with Parse in order to provide realtime editing, and I think that having Tina for quick edits + Chisel for more ellaborate tasks will make a perfect set for our project 
PS.: I’m reading the history post of Chisel at Chisel CMS - a headless CMS use-case for Parse-Server - #2 by r3trosteve and as an Open Source contributor that’s quite inspiring!
