Re: [MCN-L] Is your Content Management System headless?

[Andrew Fox]

Hi Mark,

We're not using a headless CMS in production yet, but I am working on a
prototype for one that will manage in-gallery digital signage and
interactive displays (using Drupal 8 and Gatsby). I'm still in the
beginning stages of the project but I'm happy to share my findings with you.

Cheers,
Andrew
