TakeShape - Developer focused Headless GraphQL, CMS and SSG 🛠️

I've been using TakeShape for the past couple of weeks and so far it's been a really excellent experience. Super easy to get started, and kind of magical to be able to statically build in the browser so seamlessly. Super excited about some of the upcoming feature releases as well. Highly recommend checking it out! 🎉

We're very excited to be launching on Product Hunt today! To celebrate use code 'product-hunt' for 25% off the first 12 months of any regular TakeShape paid plan.

Hi, I'm Andrew, Co-founder and CTO at TakeShape! We’re excited to finally be able to share TakeShape with you. Mark and I have spent years building content experiences. We’ve always wanted a tool like TakeShape so we decided to build it. TakeShape is the only service which provides all the elements of JAMStack in one product. Flexible content modelling, GraphQL API and Static Site generation all with a simple to use web UI and CLI for developers. We see that future of the web will be built with a balance of static and dynamic content. We are very grateful for all the attention we’ve been getting today on Product Hunt. We hope you’ll give TakeShape a try and tell us how we can improve the TakeShape experience. What features are we missing? How can we improve the docs?

We've been beta testing takeshape for use as a CMS for thegymnasium.com on our twitch livestream. It's been a fantastic product to use, and the learning experience has been wonderful. Even as someone with limited exposure to GraphQL, I had no problem picking this up and running with it.

Pros:

Super easy to use! We went from 0 experience to a CMS Proof of Concept in under an hour!

Cons:

Some dev experience required

It's tight; everything I need rn ✌️

Pros:

Simple, fast, low overhead

Cons:

Docs and examples are still coming along. Not really a con since they're updated every few days.

Love developing in TakeShape!

Pros:

Clean, Elegant, Fast, Developer friendly.

Cons:

Although never noted any issues its a new product.

TakeShape is a great tool for rapidly testing out new ideas, figuring out what works, and continuing to iterate.

We've been building massivesci.com with TakeShape for the last year and a half—it was a great choice. We've been able to develop and deploy a robust static publication with a fairly complex schema at very small cost. The ability to create and update content types has allowed us to rapidly test new features and designs with limited overhead.

Pros:

Fast and easy to prototype and iterate new product features; no database maintenence required; GraphQL endpoints allow for future growth

Cons:

Developer experience required

The best approach to a CMS I've ever seen. Flexible deploy options, beautiful interface, great, useful data types & structures. The SSG portion is brilliant. Lovely tool overall.

Pros:

Easy to use, fast, full-solution, amazing dev tools

Cons:

Missing some admin features that might be useful for blogs / non-tech users

Great product - easy to use. Useful

Pros:

Cons:

Could add more choices
