Hey hackers, OP here! I've been dipping in and out of this problem space for the last few years with many of my clients.

But there's always been a gap with CMSs when it comes to user interfaces. I kept running into the same issues: poor developer experience, bad performance, no support for dynamic content, and needing vendors for AB testing or personalization, which just gets messy and expensive.
