Show IH: Introducing Payload - 2021's Node + React Headless CMS for JavaScript Developers
Hey all, my team and I just released Payload CMS - a fully self-hosted and extremely powerful Node + React headless CMS. We've been building websites and apps with existing content management systems and application frameworks for over a decade. We know what works and what doesn't about each of the existing solutions, and to this day have found no silver bullet solution.
We believe that a CMS should be:
- Cost-effective and should save time and effort
- Intuitive for developers and content authors alike
- Self-hosted however and wherever the application specifies
- Designed in code but used with no coding experience
- Blazing fast
- Secure
- Fully flexible and extensible
Payload is our silver bullet solution. It represents over two years of passionate development and brings everything we need when we build new apps and websites:
- A beautiful, dynamic, customizable admin UI
- Extensible and reusable authentication
- Content localization
- Local file storage
- Extremely flexible access control
- Field conditional logic
- Block-based layout building
- Array field type(s)
- Security
- and much more
I would be very appreciative to hear what this community thinks and gather feedback accordingly. We want to do everything we can to make Payload the absolute best Node-based CMS out there, and we can't do that without your help.
Looks really interesting. I like the idea of a CMS with a pure JS stack. I have a future project in mind that it might be perfect for. Will definitely give it a deep dive when I get to it.
Great to hear! Open to any feedback.
