Directus is an open source alternative that has the same features for free. So we wet with this. Very happy with this CMS.
The "Create content model" UI is definitely not as polished as the one from Contentful or Kentico Cloud - but it works. You have to actually manage relationship tables yourself, which some people might like.
Unfortunately their only trial is for the smaller plan which is limited to 3 tables, and I don't have the energy and motivation to install the Open Source version...
Still interesting.
Do you have a link for that? I couldn't find anything about self hosting.
(But I did check it out, and it definitely is quite capable!)
> Kentico Cloud is a SaaS model, so you need to host the application that consumes data from it. I'm not aware of an option where you would host the content management application.
So no self hosted option.
I get that what we're seeing may just be a front-end "app" connecting to the core headless CMS via its own API, but at what point has your "headless CMS with a nice UI" just become another traditional CMS?
So to be clear, headless CMSs have an admin-facing front-end and back-end to manage content, but only an API for a process to render the content into HTML/CSS/JS for visitors.
That said, headless CMSs can be used for more than just websites.
