I had been using an open source variant of this the last few months, which ironically has a similar approach - https://github.com/NodeSquarespace/node-squarespace-server

This is amazing news though! Hoping the next step is to expose a content manipulation api :)

Same here. This was built by an outstanding outside dev who was using all sorts of undocumented methods to extract content and render a Squarespace template. That server has been awesome, but in order for it to continue to work the project dev had to maintain a JavaScript recreation of Squarespace's templating engine. This new dev server seems to run the same engine they use in the development environment. It works insanely well, even with some of the most complex stuff I've throw at it.
