I can see why people would do this with existing WordPress setups, but would there be any reason to consider it for a new build over a dedicated headless CMS (like Strapi or a bunch for PHP I don't know well enough to name) or headless CMS SAAS (like Prismic)?
- dotancohen 2y agoYes. Every content manager and content writer knows and loves Wordpress. It's only developers that hate Wordpress. Corcel lets those content people use the tools they like, and lets developers build secure, performant, maintainable websites.
- ianhawes 2y agoWe migrated from WordPress to Prismic several years ago, then migrated to Strapi a year ago, and it has been miserable. We originally used Corcel with our Laravel installation, but somehow still found malware, so we immediately decommissioned the entire WordPress install and switched to Prismic. Prismic worked great and I regret switching to Strapi, but I felt the extensibility would be better (and latency reduced) if we self-hosted our headless CMS. Managing Strapi is a full-time job, and their support for things like localization and their API are terrible. Don’t believe their marketing hype.
- paulbrats 2y agoIt sucks that you had a tough time with Strapi; I use it for many projects and have not had any issues. Do you have any example, specifically " like localization and their API," where you had issues? I also know they have open office hours on their Discord channel Mon - Fri 12:30 pm cst where you can get help and ask questions.
