You should check out strapi and airtable. Can draw some inspiration from them...you're on the right track. With a lot of hardwork, you'll get there.

For now, cheers!

I also just discovered Strapi and am very happy with it so far.

For those not knowing, Strapi offers:

  1. an (already nicely styled) dashboard in a similar way Wordpress does
  2. a simple and dynamic way to define any types of content
  3. an easy REST api you can access from your website
  4. out of the box working user database, permission management and authentication

The real charm is that Strapi doesn't care about final displaying / formatting at all but only about creating data. It really is only a CMS (CONTENT management system), not a website generator including HTML layouts, CSS, etc. So if you want to create your own website that takes unformatted data and displays it nicely, getting this data served by Strapi is a nice way to go.

OP's project is a nice approach, but still in a very early stage. So for now I would suggest having a look into Strapi if people want to replace Wordpress, Typo, etc. with a more modern stack.
