This is cool, but the end result is you are basically using WordPress as a document store. Because you need to implement an entirely custom frontend, you lose various wordpress templating abilities. Granted, that might be a worthwhile tradeoff.
- lukifer 8y agoHonestly, the sophistication, usability, and hackability* of modern wp-admin makes it worth the price of admission alone (even considering the performance hit from awkward wp_posts schema). I once used a siteless WP as a CMS for a lean CodeIgniter mobile app JSON API. * Hackable in the positive sense; WP has its security reputation for a reason, but the majority of vulnerabilities are attributable to third-party plugins and themes.
