-
webiny-js
Open-source serverless enterprise CMS. Includes a headless CMS, page builder, form builder, and file manager. Easy to customize and expand. Deploys to AWS.
-
SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
But, if it's the developer experience that you're struggling with, you might wanna try Payload - as we have a Blocks field type that would be perfect for what you're looking to do. You're right in that many other headless CMS lack these types of features.
If you haven't made a final selection yet, Webiny also has the concept of blocks of content. You can define this group of content in the UI, then lock it using RBAC so content authors can use the fields you define.
