The Disappointing Quest for a Headless CMS

[hvelarde]

@Rotonen

From what I can see within my bubble this 'snowflake use-case' has somehow taken over and is now the most common (by the number of aspirant companies!) use-case out there - single page apps and native mobile are the things most start-ups go for. And most young developers seem to target their skillset building towards whatever the start-up scene is currently up to.

and young developers probably are not going to use Plone for the same reasons.

so the point of this topic, I guess, is not to repeat what everybody knows (that we need the REST API because it opens a lot of new opportunities for us), but to discuss the points of the guy who wrote the article on the "disappointing" quest for a headless CMS.

I totally agree with @zopyx answer and is good to know this was openly discussed during the conference, because are more or less the same arguments in the 3 articles I mentioned one year ago.

maybe @tisto and @tkimnguyen would like to know that we delivered our first site using the REST API feeding a bunch of JavaScript based animations a couple of weeks ago: No AngularJS! No ReactJS!… just like Queen's early albums: No Synths!
