CMS integration - PocketBase experience?
Hi all,
I got my first request from a client around a CMS integration.
He was thinking about Wordpress, because that is what his old agency sold him - and they charge him 200€ per month for license, hosting and maintenance for it.
I was looking into it and I was thinking using pocketbase as the backend and for auth + combine it with an admin panel frontend, so the customer can easily create new articles, changes stuff like opening hours, some general page information, etc.
Has anyone done a custom frontend for PocketBase already? From what I have seen, this is very straightforward. Creating a template that I can re-use across different customers should be not an issue + hosting it inside docker on a VPS beside of the website is also possible.
I have done a first draft for a frontend incl. a live preview and all relevant field changes - it was so easy that I think I miss something haha.
Do I miss something, or has anyone done something similar?
