Can anyone point me to a good headless CMS solution that doesn't introduce vendor lock in? I've tried Contenful and I only got nothing but good things to say about it. Probably something open source and self hosted.
- aosaigh 6y agoHave you looked at Craft? It has headless-mode via a GraphQL API.
- ryancoleman 6y agoI really like Ghost https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/ It's more for prose than ecommerce but it's really pleasant to use and great for headless through its GraphQL interface. I recently wrote a tutorial on how to use it with Gatsby & AWS serverless infrastructure so that everything is self-hosted but without the overhead of operating servers. https://docs.stackery.io/docs/tutorials/jamstack-ghostgatsby/ https://docs.stackery.io/docs/tutorials/jamstack-ghostgatsby...
- remotesynth 6y agoAny git-based CMS would not have vendor locking (i.e. Forestry or Netlify CMS as two examples) since they are only an editing layer on top of content and data files in your git repo. Netlify CMS is also open source. There are limitations to using a git-based solution (reusability of content within a site or reusing content on a mobile app for example) but no vendor lockin.
- colbyfayock 6y agothere are a lot of good options here: https://headlesscms.org/ https://headlesscms.org/ i personally use Netlify CMS for my website. it's not as feature rich as some other options, but for a personal blog, it gets the job done, and it's open source
