    A frontend Framework for single-page applications on top of REST/GraphQL APIs, using TypeScript, React and Material Design

    Project mention: How to build a CMS with Supabase and React-admin | dev.to | 2025-02-03

    I've been working with react-admin on various projects, some of which required basic CMS features in addition to the core application. We've used headless CMS like Strapi, Directus, or Prismic for these features. However, react-admin is so powerful that it can be used to build the CMS part, too. That's why I worked on a CMS proof-of-concept using react-admin for the admin UI and Supabase (which provides a REST API) for the backend.
