However, it soon became apparent that Netlify Identity had some limitations. One was that the login alert was not in Norwegian (I translated it and opened a pull request, but could not wait for it to go through. It's been 7 months now...). The other reason for not sticking with Netlify Identify was that I started working on a dashboard for user account management where I would need some more advanced functionality than Netlify Identity Widget could provide. After some research, I ended up choosing Auth0.
To get this to work I had to make changes in both how rich text was handled (since it was different depending on whether I used gatsby-source-contentful or retrieved the content dynamically from Contentfuls GraphQL content API). I also had to build a custom component for handling images delivered from the Contentfuls Image API, since I could not use Gatsby Image with Contentful's own API. I wanted the same performance as with Gatsby Image, and the images delivered in "correct" sizes depending on screen width. I won't get into all the details, but you can find the complete source code at my Github here, and my custom image component here.
