Why?

Conclusions

• Every page we own is a compilation of multiple blocks, both unique and reusable ones
• Most of our data is static unless we change a block or the entire page
• We should have a single source of thruth for our pages
• It should be easy to create and edit pages for both technical and non-technical users
• We should aim to reduce maintenance and do everything we can to automate most things

Approach

• Filesystem as an API
• JSON Data to generate our pages
• Publishing just opens a PR to be reviewed by multiple people with the edited JSON files
• Auto-generated input forms for end users based on custom prop-types
• Iterative approach starting with an MVP and moving forward to a fully featured version
• Leveraging current tools to assist us (github, headless cms, auth0)
