A truly open source modern headless CMS

In plain words

This is a headless CMS built with open source principles, launched in 2020 and available on GitHub. It's designed for developers who need a content management system decoupled from the presentation layer, allowing content to be served to multiple platforms and interfaces. The headless architecture gives developers flexibility in how they display and use content, making it suitable for modern web applications, mobile apps, and other digital projects.

  Hey Hackers, Webstudio is an Open Source alternative to Webflow, and we just launched Webstudio CMS!
