• Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?

  My most recent project launched in January. NextJS 14 client integrated with PayloadCMS (http://payloadcms.com) for the back-end. I love both technologies in theory, but they're both going through a renaissance period and "bleeding edge" doesn't even begin to describe it. If I'm just building a client app, create-react-app is still my go to. Before now, I'd been building on... - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

  Payload is free, you can self host it without paying a one time fee or a SaaS fee for its use, it even says so at the bottom of the homepage. Source: 5 months ago

• Next.js 14: No New APIs & Breaking Changes

  James, the co-founder of Payload, a headless CMS with MongoDB support, shared his insights on the drawbacks and limitations of using a headless CMS in the context of web development. He challenged the promises often made about headless CMS, such as separation of concerns and ease of content migration, revealing that these claims often don't align with the reality faced by developers and clients.

• Getting Started with PayloadCMS & Vue JS

  In this video series, we will set up PayloadCMS Headless CMS, create a Customers collection, log in as a Customer, create an account as a Customer. Then build a simple vuejs website that can login using the API created by PayloadCMS and finally look at the changes needed to go from website to mobile application with Ionic Framework. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Is It Worth Building the Next Headless CMS?

  Hey Sanju - would love to know what you think about Payload (https://payloadcms.com). We were in YC S22 and we've done a lot of what you've mentioned. Our ambitions are the same as yours. Maybe we could collaborate? - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Headless CMS with access to underlying data?

  Hey there - I'm CEO of Payload (YC S22) [1] and you're speaking my language. We're an open-source CMS where you completely own your database. Right now we're MongoDB-only, but we are actively working on adding Postgres support and that should be done VERY soon. [1] https://payloadcms.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: MongoDB Protocol for SQLite

  You should speak to PayloadCMS guys. It can be mutually benefiting (publicity/more users/etc.). It needs Mongo, but if it works with Ferret backed by SQLite (and others) that would be game changer. https://payloadcms.com/ Great project of yours! Thank you. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  Long time member here. I'm CEO of Payload. Earlier this week I did a livestream with the CEO of Resend, Zeno Rocha. We're two recent Y Combinator dev tool CEOs that have teamed up to ship some new features fast. Source: 10 months ago

• What backend do you use?

  You should check out Payload - it's basically a full backend with an instant admin panel built with React. It takes the best parts of application frameworks and headless CMS and smashes them together. You get auth, file storage, access control, admin UI, REST API, GraphQL, and a full Express server to build on top of with very little effort, and it makes backend dev a breeze.

• Looking for some advice! Currently working in wordpress to built some sites for clients. Looking to make a change and reading up on next.js and seems like it could be a great solution but is there a CMS that is comparable to Wordpress from a client making content updates standpoint?

  I don’t recommend using Wordpress as a Headless CMS because eventually you will have maintain and update plugins and more. If you know how to code, I would recommend PayloadCMS. My website is currently built with Next.js and Strapi. But I am planning to move to PayloadCMS in the near future. Strapi is good if you prefer no-code. PayloadCMS in case you know how to code with Typescript and Node.js. Source: 10 months ago

  Payload is even easier to use than WP for clients. We took everything that worked from WP + ACF but removed all the "cruft". Source: 10 months ago

• Opinion on CMS (Strapi, WordPress, Custom)

  We started payload a couple years ago because we were in a very similar place. We took all the things we (and our clients) liked with WP and built it in a more modern, dev friendly way. It comes with the admin panel, auth, rest endpoints and so much more. I encourage you to give it a look! It’s written in JS/TS, which is nice because your frontend engineers can easily transition to full stack. Knowledge sharing is... Source: 10 months ago

• A GUI-based Strapi alternative that supports multitenancy out-of-the-box?

  You should give Payload a try! There’s a full multi-tenant example which demonstrates how you might serve multiple projects on a single instance. Payload can be self-hosted, and it sounds like it might meet your exact project requirements. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Headless CMS Recommendation?

  Payload CMS for sure: https://payloadcms.com/ But be careful: once you tried it, you won't want to use anything else anymore. Gives you both a REST API, as well as a GraphQL API automatically. Admin UI is written in React as well and is customizable, super clean & distraction-free. Everything is extendable with Typescript. I, personally, went from WordPress => Strapi =>... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What technology do you use to build websites these days?

  Use Payload with your favorite front-end framework and you can build pretty much anything you want. Source: 11 months ago

• Semi-technical, wannabe founder of a niche ecommerce app has some questions about app architecture.

  Check out Payload if you haven't seen it. We built Quikplow which is a native app (basically Uber for snow plows) and used Payload for auth, access control, file storage, Stripe Connect integration, etc. Saved a lot of time and we built the MVP in 3 months start to finish. Might be a good fit for your project. Source: 11 months ago

• Choosing a JavaScript Framework for your personal projects.

  Have you tried Payload yet instead of Strapi? Seems like you've got a good amount of experience and I'd love to know what you think of Payload if you've tried it. Source: 11 months ago

• What is a good ERP/CRM base to use for a company to create a custom functionality-rich website but expect regular employees to know how to add content to the website?

  Check out Payload, it has a beautiful admin interface that rivals WordPress and it's written in a very modern way using Node.js and TypeScript. It is both a "headless cms" and "application framework" meaning you can build essentially anything you want with it, including high-end enterprise-sized websites that both engineers and content editors will love using.

• Understanding if NextJS is a viable replacement for Symfony

  Better yet — if you want something extremely extensible with powerful APIs, and a platform that lets you own your data try Payload. Source: 11 months ago

• What approach to take?

  If you want to delve into the Headless approach, I'd suggest taking a look at Payload CMS. Our npx create-payload-app will get you up and running in minutes, and you can pair it very nicely with NextJS for the frontend. We've also got a couple of repos you can fork that work serverlessly. If you run into anything, you can join our discord and we'll get you taken care of. Best of luck! Source: 12 months ago
