Datakolo is a headless CMS I built that lets you create content once and use it anywhere. No more copy-pasting between platforms or being stuck with trash templates. Just pure content freedom.

What is a Headless CMS? 🤔

It's like WordPress, but without all the bloated garbage.

Traditional CMS = content + presentation Headless CMS = content only + API access

You create content once, then pull it into whatever frontend you want: websites, apps, AR/VR, whatever.

The Stack 🛠️

Frontend:

• Next.js
• Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
• React Hook Form + Zod

Backend:

• Deno
• Oak (Express.js for Deno)
• MongoDB
• JWT

How to Use This Thing 👀

1️⃣ Create an Account

Sign up, log in, the usual drill.

2️⃣ Make a Project

Projects are like folders for your content.

3️⃣ Define Your Content Structure

This is where it gets fun. Want a blog? Define what posts look like. Product catalog? Define what products look like.

Example Post Schema:
- title (string, required)
- content (string, required) 
- isPublished (boolean)

4️⃣ Create Some Content

Fill in the fields based on your schema. Datakolo validates everything so you can't mess it up.

5️⃣ Get Your API Key

Go to Settings, generate an API key. Keep this secret.

6️⃣ Use the API Builder

Head to the API Builder tab and create your API queries:

• Select which repository you want to work with
• Choose an operation (Get All or Get One)
• If you're getting a specific item, enter its ID
• Copy the generated URL and code snippets

7️⃣ Use Your Content Anywhere

Your content is now available through a clean API.

API Quick Start 🔌

Endpoints

Get All Items

GET /api/v1/projects/:projectId/repositories/:repositoryId/contents

Get One Item

GET /api/v1/projects/:projectId/repositories/:repositoryId/contents/:id

Always include your API key:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Why This is Actually Useful 🧠

• Build your portfolio/blog/app exactly how you want it
• Future-proof your content when frontend tech inevitably changes again
• No more copy-pasting content between platforms
• Your content, your rules
