Hey,
I'd like to incorporate a headless blog into my site so I can just pull the posts and style and reuse them across the site.
Does anyone have recommendations for headless blogs? Cost and ease of integration being the main factors.
Thanks!

I've been using Directus for several months now and I'm very happy with it. It's completely free to download or self-host, the documentation is very good, and you can query the data with REST or GraphQL. I've found the combination of Gatsby front end and Directus back end to be a pleasure to work with! I'd be happy to share my experience or answer any questions.
Hi,
I've used directus in the past and I use gatsby with contentful at the moment.
I'm interested in this solution, but haven't use them together because last time I used directus (it was during the fork of backend and frontend application) it was not so scalable and with several bugs.
What I need is something fast and prebuilt (of course i can work on it the first time on first project several hours) in order not to recreate every time all the collections needed for run a basic site or a basic ecommerce.
So before work on it and waisting time I'd like to see how you have used these solutions and how they can be suitable to offer a website to a customer.
Thank you for this interesting topic
Hello! Can you help me pls.. What seo plugin we should use using directus cms? Forexample we use Yoast Seo in Wordpress and it helps us to go ahead in SEO. But now we use directus and our situation is not so good like with Wordpress
That's brilliant thank you, I'll take a look!
Why is Gatsby good to work with? I haven't had a look at that, I've just been working in React...
Gatsby adds nice stuff to React. For instance, it has a built in data layer that makes it easier to query and get data from a GraphQL headless content manager like Directus.
It has plugins that can be used to improve your blog and add image optimizers, site map generator, SEO, RSS feed, analytics.
And very important, Gatsby is a static site generator. Before you deploy your blog, there is a build step that reads all the data from your CMS and creates all of the html pages for your site. The end result is a site that is much faster and more secure.
It can be a little tough to get started with, but the documentation is good, and there are loads of tutorials available. Well worth the effort to learn.
Brilliant thank you, yeah I've been thinking about SEO with headless CMSs so that sounds great! Cheers
Great! Best of luck, Jamie!
I used Storyblok on my personal website and it's really easy to integrate. There're several plans from free for personal use to big companies with a lot of traffic. It also includes packages to add SEO blocks and S3 Backups 🙌 I hope it helps and you find the great headless CMS for your project 😍
Jekyll
