Best Headless Setup 2022

[@devbash]

I'm not a designer by trade but working and making my own native web components has been massively helpful when trying to bootstrap a project quickly. Since I've made a bunch, I got a solid library to slap on pages. Saves time/money on front ends!

[@hiberniankingy]

For frontend frameworks, I would also consider Sveltekit.

[@atosupriyanto6990]

Cool, people will love more tutorials about maybe creating simple implementation headless wordpress site with your approach from this setup

[@TheGrandMasterFunk]

Best wordpress channel by far. Production/editing quality could be better but damn the content is so valuable.

[@WPAcademyPK]

Thank you.

[@Shawn-Mosher]

Great video! I’m currently using a headless woocomm with vultr, Nextjs, AWS Amplify. Would love to see how to host Nextjs on digital ocean droplet and not there app platform.

[@nicolasmenescardi4077]

Contabo is another good alternative to DO

[@jamxi2]

You, mentioned hosting for the front-end, but what about for Wordpress?

[@kmills-swimmin]

Great Question, maybe Digital Ocean for the WP? Not sure how well that works with Local. Flywheel and Local are amazing together. Would love to know his thoughts

[@southasiadefenseportal8957]

Next.js and digital ocean with local by flywheel.

[@joeyfest]

Strapi is worth a look!

[@dragon3602010]

Or even Directus 😍🔥🔥

[@adityaarsharmapersonal]

Do you feel Frontity is better for headless WordPress than Gatsby?

[@victordiaze3227]

@WPCasts please let us know what do you think about this. Thank you

[@davidrobertson6371]

I would use Windicss, or UNOCSS instead of Tailwind. They are more versatile and faster, uno has built in icon support for over 100k icons, plus way more.

[@rapidfyreinc]

But what's the market share on UNOCSS or Windicss. There's so much support and frameworks using Tailwind. I would be curious to know what you mean by "more versatile" though?

Hi there. Currently my personal site is classic wordpress. How can I convert it to headless cms? I don't have much experience, what should I do to learn? I would be glad if you help. Thanx.

[@LukaszMatysiewicz]

Hot topic nowadays. I am designer and just semi wp developer, that why I still looking for good tutorial/example of configuration headless wp + git versioning.

[@devbash]

Tbh, there's not much you'd use git for in a headless setup. Not on the WordPress end, at least.

[@jamxi2]

What do you think of Astro?

[@odelweb8057]

Often times with a new WordPress project comes a new domain and customers requesting email services. I know it is offtopic, but not completely unrelated. Do you host email together with the wep app?

[@woutertt]

I recommend them to take gsuite of 365. I recommend not getting into email hosting.

[@tedspens]

I'm looking into using Svelte for the frontend but being a total rookie, I'm not sure why. It just looks cool? Anyway, would I be better off pursuing Next or Gatsby?

[@babakfp]

I mean, the maintainer of Svelte never run a community before, so they don't know what the heck they are doing. The development is slow because they are a small team and they don't know how to organize and manage things. Svelte is very opinionated, you can't even call it a community project because they throw your idea into the trash without discussing it. Or about Rich Harris, there are no Rich Harris. He is a ghost. You can't find him anywhere in the community.

[@tedspens]

@@babakfp Thank you for the feedback but it doesn't tell me anything about the technical aspects, in comparison to Next and Gatsby. Frankly, it appears you have a bone to pick with Rich Harris. I'd rather stay out of that one.

[@dnikolai]

SvelteKit has a great dev experience IMO and the team I work with loves it. I'd say NextJS is the most feature rich of the 3 and has solved some of the headaches I have had on Gatsby projects. NextJS also has a rust based compiler that is more efficient than Gatsby's, at least in the projects I have worked on. If it were me, I'd start with Next. A lot of knowledge will transfer to Gatsby since they are both React frameworks with SSG and SSR. Svelte is my favorite and I recommend checking it out once you get a good feel for working with a framework. All 3 are fantastic tools and have helpful communities. I hope you have a great learning journey!

[@tedspens]

@@dnikolai Thank you, Drake. I didn't see your reply till now but I have been pursuing Next since posting my question. I guess great minds really do think alike. 😁

[@air961]

Thanks for shareing!

[@lvekua]

WP/Astro/Netlify please

[@sil6796]

sn't headless cms like a cloud-hosted database?

[@mehdichamiani6838]

This is very helpful, thanks man for sharing ;) I like the way we use WP as a Backend with cutting-edge tech stacks like Next js for creating the view.

[@victordiaze3227]

Hello, have you think about using FRONTITY as Frontend Framework?? In case you have why you don't recomend it?? Just to know in case I'm missing something important in Frontity.

[@isaaccisneros9778]

I have the same question. Frontity is supposed to be made for wordpress and is popular, but no mention here, invisible.

[@manintheglass]

An important considering with Frontity is they were acquired by Wordpress and are still looking for maintainers to take over the project. Until they find maintainers I would proceed with caution before using it for a production site.

[@davidrobertson6371]

RIP Gatsby!!

[@billc8761]

Sorry to see that you no longer post content. I just recently found this channel. I hope that all is well with you and you just decided to spend your time elsewhere.

[@docetes]

Vultr is a good alternative to digitalocean
