Dev Workflows with "Headless" Content Management: Time to Re-Attach the Head!
summary
Claim: a headless CMS can be “re-headed” by shipping renderable primitives and typesafe clients so apps don’t have to anticipate every content change. Built zerv with a CLI that runs zerv sync to codegen a typesafe client, a tiny runtime client using React Query, and a renderable human text component for inline formatting and links. Demo runs in Next.js and Expo on iOS/Android, works end-to-end, Apache-2 licensed and free alpha through April.
