Objections

  • Only supports vertically stacked layouts; multi-column not yet supported

    From 2 comments
    • This looks decent and the idea is sound. I was looking at headless CMS recently and it only vaguely struck me that what is needed is the front-end builder component. Looking at…

Requests

  • Support for arbitrary CSS and Vue integration

    From 1 comment
    • Awesome. I've literally been tasked with building something exactly like this, and it's a pain in the ass nothing exists like this for Vue so I have to do it from scratch. I plan…

  • Rich text field type

    From 1 comment
    • How do you keep the saved data props/values (title, description) in sync with the component props in the code? Let's say I change `description` to `subtitle` in the code, what…

    • This is really slick! A really fluid and intuitive interface. We use https://react-page.github.io/ (also MIT licensed) extensively at my startup; it attacks the same problem, and…

  • GrapesJS

    From 1 comment
    • Take a look at grapesjs -- it's a bit janky in places but it's self hosted and overall works pretty well. It can output plain HTML so I think it could be integrated with vue.

    • If you're open to hosted service, is the best commercial visual + headless CMS I've come across that supports React - https://www.storyblok.com/home.
