Reviewer scorecard
“Code-first CMS that runs inside Next.js. Full TypeScript types, access control, and the admin UI is excellent.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“The best headless CMS for developers. Code-first configuration means version control and type safety.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“CMS inside your Next.js app eliminates the API layer. Payload 3.0 is a paradigm shift for content management.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
