Ask HN: What CMS in 2018 for webapps?
I am looking for an open source CMS that integrates well with a frontend-only app (like a React App) and so far I have found:
- Good old full-stack CMSs such as Drupal or Wordpress that can expose a REST API, but seem a bit old for 2018
- Brand new Headless CMSs such as Strapi (nodejs) or Cockpit (PHP) but they don't look very mature (but I guess that's normal as "headless API" is quite a new concept)
Have you tried CMS integration with a React Apps yourself, and what approach did you take? Would you have some feedback to share about this stack?
- seanwilson 9y agoNetlify CMS with a static website? The CMS is React-based so you can customise it with your own components too.
- asaaki 9y agoMaybe a stack like Gatsby+Contentful+Netlify+Algolia is something you might like. The following guide describes you the full stack: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-12-06-gatsby-plus-contentful-plus-netlify/ https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-12-06-gatsby-plus-content...
- EnderMB 9y agoUmbraco have released a pretty cool REST framework for this approach, and I've built a few React apps off of it. I remember seeing a demo of it where it was being used to build webapps in Node and Ruby, alongside React, which for a .NET CMS is pretty cool.
- Samtaran 9y agoYou may want to take a look at https://getmesh.io/ https://getmesh.io/ - A fully open source headless CMS. It has a GraphQL and REST API so integration with React should be fairly straight forward.
