Unclaimed: Are are working at Strapi ?
Strapi is a free, open-source, and headless/back-end-only CMS that runs on 100% Javascript. Made for developers, it’s fully customizable and provides a robust environment for creating self-hosted and high-performing content APIs. Content creators can easily define models to build rich layouts depending on the data structure they need for their business. Once a content architecture has been set, it’s seamless to write, edit, and manage any content type. Comprehensive frameworks and services from third-party vendors are available to reinforce the content environment and once ready, content can be easily deployed on all cloud platforms or traditional servers.

Highly customizable, React-based, and support for Graphql.
Users can't customize the admin panel content-form UI.
We have developed all our college fests' events and club events using Strapi. With Strapi, we could quickly develop the backend, which also came with a pre-ready admin panel. It helped us to prepare our event swiftly before the deadline.
Fully customizable, written entirely in JavaScript, vibrant community, tonnes of support. Additionally, I've observed Strapi grow, develop and ship new features at the speed of light! Which is not only encouraging and assuring but also inspiring!
Honestly, it's hard to think of anything that I dislike. Strapi has proven to enable the projects I work on to ship complex data structures and solve problems related to getting an early idea off the ground in record times! From the free and open-source projects, this is hands down the best one I've come across. They just rolled out Version 4 beta, which on top of all the awesome flexibility and functionality, also looks gorgeous! If you haven't yet, go check them out, you will most probably not regret it!
Shipping new features within a matter of hours, not weeks. Building my startup and helping clients to develop and ship features with little to no friction.
The administration UI makes DB architecture very straightforward, while at the same time Strapi exposes enough under the hood to remain highly extensible.
Any "magic wand" solutions always suffer the same problem; less transparency about the underlying low-level processes that are happening. Fortunately this has not been a huge drawback for me with Strapi.
I am currently using it as a way to enable customers to edit their own content, replacing older CMS solutions like Wordpress.
Strapi is modern, flexible, stable, easy to use and impressively well designed. The admin page is intended to be customizable by overriding if needed. The ability to create custom user roles is a must. Dynamic Zones make it very easy to create flexible, reusable content models.
It's not currently possible to use nested Dynamic zones inside another component.

Combined with Dio HTTP cache in Flutter, Strapi has enabled us to build up an easy-to-manage app menu and content system, allowing us to make live changes in a beautiful UI without code changes and app releases.
Some documentation and answers to common questions are outdated for older versions, can cause some confusion.
The ready-made dashboard has saved us time and money. The HTTP API to insert data via scripts allows us to pull data from Podbean, Vimeo, Instagram etc in a draft state, allowing us to log in and publish new content.
The thing I like the best about Strapi is that it's open-source; this allows for complete flexibility in what you want the CMS to do. Content is easily accessible through REST API or GraphQL, which is fantastic!
The free version only comes with three roles which you can't customize. This is understandable because there needs to be an incentive to support the developers, and restricting features is the only way.
Quick solution to create an api and present a panel for people with no technical skills.
Easy interface and great plugin integration
Has a bit of a learning curve and can take a while to get used to
Allows for easy headless CMS while still using preferred technologies
Easy to set up backend and saved hours from creating APIs. Even our non-technical admin can easily manage many features using Strapi GUI.
Not found so far. Maybe I can add UI is that not responsive and components get overlapped on a smaller window. But not much of a bother anyway.
Easy to create all basic APIs through quickstart backend setup. We are saving lots of time.
Fast API setup. Can build a production-ready cms real fast
Changing the admin page requires a lot of work
Having to set up a working graphql API in a short time with authentication. With Strapi, i can complete this task in a short time, and no need to worry about the reliability
I like the GUI entity-relationship builder
More features are added all the time, but I am anxious for more entity types, default random UUIDs (v4 type), and the ability to make authenticated requests through the API easily.
I hve a project that is evolving rapidly. Strapi allows me to modify the schema easily without having to worry about migrations.
