I would love to do something like this. Drupal was a nightmare for me as a designer. Wordpress is much more manageable, but HTML/CSS/Javascript are king for me to have full control. What I'd like to learn next is implementing a database to cover the CMS side of things. Any resources you care to share that would put me on that path?
- malydok 8y agoI believe that the static site generators of this day are the next step in custom web development. I'm currently working on a Gatsby.js project using Contentful as the content provider and it really feels like the stack of the future - build with all the shiny tools but send a fast, static website to the end user.

- cityzen 8y agoIf you're interested in full stack serverless solutions, AWS Amplify looks really good. It handles a lot of the provisioning of resources and creation of GQL resolvers, etc. I spent an afternoon with it a few weeks ago and it completely changed my outlook on the future of the web and CMSs. https://aws-amplify.github.io https://aws-amplify.github.io
