Headless CMS Directory

Here’s a new directory for headless CMS. If it looks similar to the static site gen directory, that’s because it’s run by the same folks.

However, as I mentioned in a blog post about the headless market last year, it’s just not that simple. There are “pure” headless CMS, then there are other systems that are headless-ish. The lines are very blurry. (Hell, combine an API event model, cloud storage, and a few dozen lines of code, and technically anything can be headless…)

And to get really meta, we should talk about combining headless and static which brings us all the way back around to…decoupled? I take credit for bringing together Contentful and Wyam, which resulted in an official connector between those two systems.
