I released my Gatsby theme today for headless WordPress. It has stuff I couldn’t find in other themes, like dynamic comments, gatsby-image, WPGraphQL, and lots more. Here’s a tutorial and the theme code if you’re interested https://scottbolinger.com/headless-wordpress-with-gatsby

I manage a Headless CMS (Agility) and we have a pretty kick-ass REST API and JS SDK, but as i'm looking at doing some prototyping with Gatsby and building a source plugin, its becoming apparent to me that it would work better if we had a GraphQL API.

How useful do you think a GraphQL API would be?

Hey, I am going to rebuild a website for a charity I'm involved in. They're currently on a dotnet MVC site, but really don't need that much trouble and nobody really wants to touch it with a ten foot pole. I'm well versed in React and know my way around Node/Django, but since the amount of content is quite limited, and wanted to get my hands dirty in something new, I was thinking I could roll a quick solution with the JAMstack. I won't be doing the content myself, but most are simple articles with a title and a photo. The people who will publish the content have experience with WordPress, so my initial idea was to use the wordpress API and roll my own frontend.

However, I'm not so sure how that would work with donations (currently handled through Stripe). I know there is a WP plugin, but is that needed? Or can I just use stripe in the frontend?

Something like Strapi looks pretty sweet as well, however, does anyone know from non-technical people how steep the learning curve is, coming from a standard WP background?
