   This post will be discussing a cutting-edge concept known as a Headless Visual CMS, or Headless Visual Content Management System. This is not your ordinary CMS; we are not referring to platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Sanity.io, Contentful, or anything like that. Instead, we're talking about a fusion of the best headless CMS features and the simplicity of site builders like Wix or Squarespace.

4. Tailwind CSS

   A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

   

   Say you’re using Next.js with Tailwind for your app (or site), you can write some generic card component, like this:

5. Next.js

   The React Framework

   

   Say you’re using Next.js with Tailwind for your app (or site), you can write some generic card component, like this:

6. headlessui

   5 202 28,221 8.7 TypeScript

   Completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components, designed to integrate beautifully with Tailwind CSS.

   

   As devs, you might think of the term “headless” and your first association might be “headless components”, which are probably registered in your brain as components that only have an API and no UI. What I mean are projects/libraries like Headless UI, RadixUI, Downshift, TanStack Table, or a slew of others I might be forgetting.

7. foundation

   6 253 92 0.0

   GraphQL Foundation Charter and Legal Documents (by graphql)

   

   It just means the content is made accessible through either a GraphQL or REST API and can be displayed on pretty much any device you can think of. The magic here is that the headless CMS separates the backend (where you create and store content) from the frontend (where design and deployment happen), leaving the frontend presentation out of its scope.
