This post will be discussing a cutting-edge concept known as a Headless Visual CMS, or Headless Visual Content Management System. This is not your ordinary CMS; we are not referring to platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Sanity.io, Contentful, or anything like that. Instead, we're talking about a fusion of the best headless CMS features and the simplicity of site builders like Wix or Squarespace.

TanStack Table

Headless UI for building powerful tables & datagrids with TS/JS, React, Solid, Svelte and Vue

As devs, you might think of the term “headless” and your first association might be “headless components”, which are probably registered in your brain as components that only have an API and no UI. What I mean are projects/libraries like Headless UI, RadixUI, Downshift, TanStack Table, or a slew of others I might be forgetting.

GraphQL

It just means the content is made accessible through either a GraphQL or REST API and can be displayed on pretty much any device you can think of. The magic here is that the headless CMS separates the backend (where you create and store content) from the frontend (where design and deployment happen), leaving the frontend presentation out of its scope.
