Headless CMS & Blog with Markdown

Markdown editor and content API feeding a statically generated blog

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Authors write posts in a split-pane Markdown editor, attach tags and SEO fields, and save drafts or publish. A small REST API serves published content, and a separate Next.js front end builds the blog statically from that API, rebuilding a page when its post changes. The split shows clearly why a headless CMS separates editing from presentation.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Split-pane Markdown editor with live preview and image uploads
  • 02Draft, scheduled and published states with slug generation
  • 03Tags and tag pages, plus per-post SEO title, description and Open Graph image
  • 04Read-only content API with API-key access and pagination
  • 05Static front end with sitemap, RSS feed and on-demand revalidation
