I did some research on headless CMS the last few weeks since I am creating some websites for small business. Therefore pricey solution are not an option and open source would be prefered. I did check out Netlify CMS and Strapi.
Since they offer different solutions (Netlifiy CMS is git based and Strapi self hosted with database as a storage system) it comes down to personal preference. In the moment I prefer Netlify CMS but it is a close decision...
Exploring the new tools and techniques on frontend development. Loves to meet up with new people and participate in the community. I do interesting stuff on codepen https://codepen.io/nirazanbasnet
Student from Germany who fell in love with coding and the tech industry after pivoting from a traditional career in banking. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in CompSci.
I think netlifyCMS is awesome as it is free to use! However, I don't really know if it's the best CMS for client projects, because it requires a GitHub repo and therefore some technical-literated person to fix bugs etc.
Valid argument.
But what is the alternative? Strapi on a server with a Database? What about doing backups? Isn't it even more complicated? In a git-based CMS you can at least undo all changes, which isn't that easy with a database.
Yes, hosted providers, such as Contentful would be easier to use but it literally comes with a price...

For clients, I would go with contentful. Quality and service is never free, so I think they should go with the easiest and smoothest solution instead of the cheapest.
However, you got a point with git-based backups.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Try Ghost once, if you are looking for open source headless cms. You can see details here headlesscms.org
ghost.org
Thanks for the list. I will add that
Thanks for the recommendation I'll have a look at it.
