Cosmic JS provides an excellent backend for blogs. It is a fully-featured content management system (CMS) with an intuitive user interface that a non-technical client can use to manage their site content.

Intro

Every blog needs a solid CMS. This allows content owners to control their content without having to hire a developer to make every single change to their site. Many developers immediately think WordPress when considering a CMS. I’d like to suggest Cosmic JS as an alternative, though. It’s extremely simple to integrate from the developer’s viewpoint and to manage from the client’s. In this how-to article, we’ll connect a React + Next.js app to Cosmic JS and go over some of the features.

Getting Started

Fist you’ll need to create a free account with Cosmic JS. Navigate to cosmicjs.com. Click the ‘Create Free Account’ button in the header.

Then fill in your information or simply click ‘Sign up using GitHub’.
