Storyblok is a headless CMS that strangles the line between a CMS and a page builder like no other. Managing digital content with a CMS can be a difficult task. Without a visual preview, editors are often lost and need instruction even for simple changes. Storyblok has the user experience of a page builder with a modern, fully API-based architecture behind. That gives the developer freedom in choice of technology and the editor a self-explaining and intuitive interface. For the Gatsby.js lovers: There is also a tutorial on how to integrate Storyblok in Gatsby.js. You can read more about Storyblok and try their free plan, reach them on Twitter or in their live chat. Show notes [00:01:40 ] Gatsby.jsThere hasn’t been a static site generator that got so much buzz like Gatsby.js. Based on React and GraphQL, it not only takes the hottest new techniques, but bridges the gap between static sites and app like no other. Plug any content into any page, and get some nice HTML to deploy anywhere you like. Jason talks at lenghts about the big benefits from Gatsby.js, how it is build and why it is a little bit more than just a static site generator. Namely a application framework based on pregenerated content. We also talk about where Gatsby still needs improvement: How incremental builds shall slow down build times tremendously, and how investment in DX and learning will improve onboarding of new developers. Last, but not least, we talk about how Gatsby.js the open source project differs from Gatsby.js, the company, and how filling the shortcomings of traditional static site generators shall create a sustainable pricing model. Enjoy!
