Headless Plone with Volto’s editing magic? Yes, it’s possible! This GSoC project reveals how. Could this be the future of Plone? where you can host for nearly free & have freedom over frontend choices


Why does Volto Hydra matter?
- If you want a Headless CMS:
-- You get the best editor UX for a headless CMS with visual editing with the bonus of being open source
- If you don't know Volto:
-- You get a lower learning curve if you already know a frontend framework, or just use one of the included starter frontends.
- If you already use Volto:
-- you can develop frontends with faster load times, higher security and less risky Volto upgrades, with no downgrade in editor UX
-- Or continue to use Volto as your frontend only so that your frontend doesn't have to be upgraded with the CMS.
- If you are already using Plone Headless:
-- this will improve the editor UX with just a few lines of code
