About The Project

• Define content on a headless CMS (Sanity.io):
  • Create pages with rich text editors
  • Add images, embedded PDFs, and files to be served and optimised by Next js
  • Custom navigation and dynamic page routes
  • Preview draft changes in Sanity Studio or at https://SITE_URL/api/preview
  • ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) for published changes, without requiring a manual rebuild
• Built with Next js for static site generation and integrations with Sanity
• Unstyled Bootstrap starter that can be customised to display content from the CMS as desired

Read this blog for a detailed guide.

Roadmap

Future plans:

• Additional out-of-the-box content in the CMS:
  • Header with social links
  • Footers
  • Customise the base theme from within the CMS and create a dark theme
  • Icons
• Better type safety for the CMS schemas
• Additional runtime type checking on the frontend for the CMS data. Currently, the rich text content (using portable text) has runtime type checking, but this needs to be done for other schemas

See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).

Getting Started
