Reviewer scorecard
“Code-first CMS that runs inside Next.js. Full TypeScript types, access control, and the admin UI is excellent.”
“The compiler approach produces smaller, faster output. Svelte 5 runes are elegant. SvelteKit is a joy to use.”
“The best headless CMS for developers. Code-first configuration means version control and type safety.”
“Smaller ecosystem than React but the DX is genuinely better. For new projects without React ecosystem needs, it's the best choice.”
“CMS inside your Next.js app eliminates the API layer. Payload 3.0 is a paradigm shift for content management.”
“Svelte proves that a compiler-first approach to UI frameworks is viable. The ideas are influencing React and Vue.”
