  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • payload

    The best way to build a modern backend + admin UI. No black magic, all TypeScript, and fully open-source, Payload is both an app framework and a headless CMS.

  • Payload is an open-source dev-first headless CMS and we're growing like crazy right now. The admin panel is built in React and you can swap in your own components super easily. It might be perfect for you!

  • tinacms

    A fully open-source headless CMS that supports Markdown and Visual Editing

  • Lastest CMS I’ve read about and that looks super promising is Tina CMS. I haven’t used it yet but based on the video on their homepage it looks super clean and let’s the CMS user edit right in the actual page which is a really nice feature.

  • 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.

  • ProcessWire

    ProcessWire 3.x is a friendly and powerful open source CMS with a strong API.

  • refine

    Discontinued Build your React-based CRUD applications, without constraints. [Moved to: https://github.com/refinedev/refine] (by pankod)

  • react-page

    Next-gen, highly customizable content editor for the browser - based on React and written in TypeScript. WYSIWYG on steroids.

  • If its just some rich content you want to edit, you can also use https://github.com/react-page/react-page which is a rich content editor, that i am maintaining. You can use it to edit and display content. The data itself can be stored as a json string and can be saved in your api, your firebase or your headless cms. I also tried to pair it with strapi, where I would share ReactPage‘s config and cell plugins both with a nextjs frontend and strapi admin panel. This is extremly powerful and flexible.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
