Well said. We like to call that the magic of a CMS. Headless cms' are all so disconnected which ruins the magic. We want to maintain that illusion, like you're back in the wordpress days. So experience management is huge for us and we're putting much effort and research into it. Also allowing the community to build and share with others because we're open source.

Here are just a few things:

1. Our frontend editor, where you edit content, is open-source. You can add new field types with react components easily. 2. The editor is also mounted on your site and lives there wherever you want. So, yousite.com/cms. We handle auth as well. 3. You define your schema in your code, like a DB schema, instead of in a GUI. Your schema lives in git with your app. 4. You can get started completely from the CLI, never touching a web app. 5. You can extend your schemas with plugins from the community. 6. We give your features like content previews right out the box with no code setup.

yea, you're absolutely right! I am the author of that said animation lib, ngFx, from years ago. Was actually my first open source project. When we started tipe years ago, we sunsetted that project and used the stars to generate hype for tipe. We were way ahead of ourselves :). Because we're in private release, all of our open source is private on github right now. Once we're not longer in private release, it will be public.

Hey HN!

I'm Scott Moss, CEO of Tipe (YC W18). We actually just saw that someone posted us on HN. So here to just drop a little bit about Tipe. Tipe is a headless, open-source CMS with a focus on Jamstack apps. Our goal is to have the quickest setup to allow your team to edit, preview, and publish content. We also want to enable you to customize and extend your CMS to fit your team's needs. You can even reuse components you already created in your app to customize tipe. The sky is the limit. We handle the API and infrastructure. We're currently in a Private release and are looking for teams who are using Next.js. If that's you, please sign up!

I can't express how awesome this really is. Bringing diversity to the tech world is a tough and touchy topic these days. Being a black engineer at a leading company in the Bay, see this issue first hand. This aligns well with the tech initiative the Obama just proposed. Also, seeing how Telegraph academy is partnered with Hack Reactor, the leading coding school around, I know the outcomes will be good! I should know, I was an instructor at Hack Reactor. This is going to be awesome!
