05/06/2022, 3:19 PMMaybe not. It was just an example for a CMS. What I'm looking for is basically content structure and React components that can render it. My experience is that most of the projects I'm doing for customers need some kind of user created/edited content rather sooner than later, and writing your own is a lot of effort
