I'm thinking of switching from Postgres/Strapi/next.js to Wordpress.
The thing is that 90% of what I'm developing in React/next is re-inventing the wheel. It's taking a huge amount of my time, visitors want features faster, and I can't keep up.
Tags for instance. Custom made in Strapi/next.js took weeks to implement. Meanwhile, Wordpress has tags by default.
Next up is user submitted content. It'll definitely take more weeks/months to implement S3 uploads and a content moderation workflow. Meanwhile, Wordpress is built from the ground up as a CMS supporting multiple authors and editors.
I bought the hype of Strapi and next.js, but I don't think they're right for a one man studio.
Do I bite the bullet and migrate to battle-proven Wordpress, or do I press forward with the half-baked clusterfuck I have?
