What are /r/cms' favorite Products & Services?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is popular direction with the Content Management Systems. Lots of possible searches: Headless CMS, Decoupled CMS, API-First CMS, Content as a Service (CaaS)

I'd recommend taking a look at Cloud CMS.

Cloud CMS provides a really solid API oriented entirely around JSON and binary attachments. It runs on top of MongoDB and ElasticSearch to offer structured query and full-text search for all of your content. It also includes a very powerful dictionary system to let you model out your content types, graph associations and aspect-oriented features.

It's entirely JSON Schema in it's orientation and really flexible. Furthermore, you can access Cloud CMS in the public cloud or you can run your own on-premise / virtual private cloud instances using Docker.

Disclaimer: I am an employee of the company.

For example, with Drupal, the user table can have as many additional fields added to it, and the functionality built into the Core UI. (/admin/config/people/accounts/fields) -- a module like https://www.drupal.org/project/user_stats includes the ability to determine whether a user is online/offline.

And a super brief search of the community modules uncovered https://www.drupal.org/project/videochat -- it's ad supported, but I imagine there are other solutions out there that you could leverage.

I concur with what has been said already. The JAMstack approach and implicitly headless CMS is the future. For one, the headless CMS acts like a content repository, you make changes in one place and it applies to all the channels and platforms you are using. Of course, there are a tone more benefits that come with it.

There are some good options on the market, and since everyone is plugging their favorites, here is mine: Storyblok. It has a real-time visual editor, an internal asset manager and integration with Cloudinary, and I believe they handle the content creation, editing, management and publishing in the best way possible (eg. you can edit images by adding parameters to the URL).

Of course, you should do your own research and take an informed decision.

One last thing to take into consideration: Since last year, EU ruled that cloud services hosted in the US are incapable of complying with GDPR and EU privacy laws. Any business operating a website in the EU or has traffic coming from EU visitors, needs to know what data it captures and where that data is stored. (google Schrems II)

It is not quite clear to me what you mean by they own your content. From storyblok.com/terms

> 5.4: Customer Content. As between the parties, the Customer > Content and Customer Applications will be owned by you (or, if > Customer is an agency, Customer’s client(s)). You hereby grant to > Storyblok a non-exclusive, worldwide license to copy, distribute > and use Customer Content only in connection with providing the > Storyblok Services.

So depending on the Storyblok Services definition it seems that the content is owned by the customer.

> “Storyblok Services” means the SaaS-based content management and > publication services, programs, functions and platform provided by > Storyblok to you (...), and subsequent updates or upgrades of any of > the foregoing made generally available by Storyblok.

The service definition is provided to you (the customer); so this part also sounds to me, that they do not plan to offer the customer content to other parties.

Could you elaborate what you mean they own my content?

Depends on how technical you are. There is an OS distro of open social on drupal that is pretty powerful. But yeah, there isn't much of a market today for what your looking for because the big social media platforms provide polished features and its where the people are. Hope this helps. https://www.drupal.org/project/social

Drupal has a concept called "text filters / input formats" which would allow you to do this (or anything like it)

interesting, never heard of this CMS. Here are some good enterprise options https://www.g2.com/categories/headless-cms?utf8=%E2%9C%93&selected_view=grid&segment=enterprise#grid

It checks all the boxes for 99.99% of projects.

A few things that are game changers for me:

- No CMS installation or maintenance necessary. Simply add a new Bucket and integrate the NPM module or GraphQL endpoint in your app.
- Imgix image integration. Out of the box image processing on the fly. Great for responsive development.
- Extensions can connect with 3-party APIs and services. Check out the Unsplash Extention to easily add high-quality stock photography.

And a lots more. Check out the features:

But fundamentally, it's about simplicity. By far it's the simplest dashboard and easiest to use API tools for content management I've ever seen.

Why not try a Headless CMS like Cosmic JS? https://cosmicjs.com
