Well, I was expecting something like an API from headless CMS so that I can put up any UI and also other apps or interface to use the CMS data as I wish.
Of course, Wordpress API plugin is an option. But I felt maybe headless CMS are designed for these scenarios or maybe I got it wrong.
I'm looking for tool which lets me create my custom data structure and it also provides me a default CMS backend dashboard to perform edit/update/create (like the wordpress/wp-admin). While the frontend could be anything from a UI or be even interfaced with an app by its API.
Yeap, it's right but in case if you use their backend server, so you can just connect your UI directly to their API and work. But of course it's not for free(yeah, now they have free limited plan but I think it's only for marketing period and cheapest paid starts from 24$ if you pay annually that almost a price of starting level dedicated server in DC where you can setup 20 Wordpress sites or even more). And if you want self-hosted solution, so here we're minimal requirements NodeJS, any SQL database and linux on board. So, it's the same like and any Wordpress installation. I'm not a big expert in CMS field, but for me Wordpress looks anyway better because it's a mature project with tons of plugins for everything that allows to adapt it for any industry from simple blog to complex eCommerce solution or real estate agency. Easy to find developers and customize as you like. But you can try of course and share your impressions.
Yes, you're right. Wordpress indeed have a lot of very useful plugins.
Now that you mentioned it, I'm thinking that headless CMS might not be a good fit for blogs especially considering the SEO and stuff which is pretty easy with WP plugins but for headless CMS I might have to start from scratch.
Anyway I will give Strapi a try and see.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Denis :)

What the difference between headless and normal like Wordpress in a case of self-hosted solution? I think there is no difference.
