mcaton Use Gatsby.js and Headless GraphQL CMS to Make Your JAMstack Site Sweeter

Matt Billman, the Co-founder of Netlify came up with the name to try to counteract the perceptions of non-technical users that Static Sites meant sites that didn't have any kind of dynamic functionality.

He came up with the name in his living room over beers.

Neat podcast episode about the etymology here - https://www.heavybit.com/library/podcasts/jamstack-radio/ep-...

mcaton Static site generators need less rigid content APIs

Give TakeShape a try https://www.takeshape.io/.

I'm one of the Co-founders. We built TakeShape to be a more end to end static site CMS. TakeShape has a GraphQL API and Static Site generator that uses nunjucks for templating. You could also just as easily only use the GraphQL API with React or GatsbyJS's new native 3rd party API support.

TakeShape has built-in integration with s3, GCS, FTP and Netlify.

TakeShape comes after 7 years of running a design agency and trying to balance the best of many different styles of CMS and site creation approaches.

mcaton Show HN: TakeShape, a Headless GraphQL CMS and SSG

Hi, I'm Mark, one of the Co-Founders of TakeShape.

TakeShape comes out of our experience running Ronik Design, a creative agency, for the past 7 years.

We set out to build a CMS that allowed us to be more expressive with our work while not having to manage a CMS on the backend.

We always wanted a tool like TakeShape so we decided to build it. TakeShape provides all the elements of a JAMStack. Flexible content modeling, GraphQL API and Static Site generation all with a simple to use web UI and CLI for developers.
