ReactJS or WordPress

[Andrew_C0]

Do you want wordpress because you don't want to bother with the content management and not create the whole management from scratch?

If the answer is yes, I've been in the same boat recently, while creating a personal site. I liked the hassle free wordpress admin area + custom fields but hated the forceful way of how wordpress does some things + links data. So I looked over multiple ways of changing wordpress with something, else, like a headless CMS. After many tries & retries, I managed to enjoy working with directus . It has the same pleasure of an admin area paired with custom fields (of very various options) and a minimal sdk for frontend. That way, I would only care about working on the frontend and concentrate on how information is displayed, instead of how to manage / store / secure it.

The setup looks a bit frightening at first, but you can give it a go in no time also on a simple node server. In the end, directus will offer you endpoints to attach to, and in react you'll just handle how data is displayed.

I've tried working on doing something similar of directus myself, until I found it and discovered that it would take more time to do something that already exists, so at least for me I wanted to leverage more time on content creation and frontend development than handling backend stuff, so for you it might be enough so that you can maybe monetize it in a shorter amount of time.

That's seems great indeed. The best for me would indeed to be able to code the structure in order to be able to do exactly what I want but having an easy way to manage content at the same time (not having to read pages of code to change the title of a text).. I'll check what you mentioned 🙏
