Every web developer knows the pain of choosing a CMS. It often feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place: the bloated security minefield of the "old guard" (like WordPress) or the configuration nightmare of modern headless systems. In this video, we introduce NextBlock—an open-source, developer-first CMS designed to break that cycle. We dive into how NextBlock is using modern tech like Next.js 16 and Supabase to deliver a platform built on three core pillars: Speed, Experience, and Extensibility. What’s Inside: • Built for Speed: How we achieve instant loads using Edge Caching, Critical Code Loading, and Next.js Image optimization (AVIF support). • A Superior Experience: A look at the Notion-style block editor, organized media library, and one-click revision history for creators. • Developer Freedom: Why we moved to a Monorepo structure and how the Block SDK unlocks infinite extensibility. • Phase 3 Reveal: We announce the next chapter, including a premium E-commerce module and the "Open Core" business model that makes the project sustainable. NextBlock is more than just a tool; it is an ecosystem being built in the open. Watch to see how you can get involved. 🔗 Links & Resources: • Visit us at: [https://nextblock.ca] • Star on GitHub: [https://github.com/nextblock-cms/nextblock] • Join the Community: [https://github.com/nextblock-cms/nextblock/discussions] ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 - The CMS Problem: WordPress vs. Headless 0:45 - Introducing NextBlock (Next.js 16 + Supabase) 1:25 - Pillar 1: Built for Speed & Edge Caching 2:20 - Pillar 2: Superior Editor & Developer Experience 3:15 - Phase 3 Reveal: Premium E-Commerce Module 4:00 - The Open Core Model & Ecosystem 4:45 - How to Contribute Hashtags: #Nextjs #Supabase #OpenSource #WebDevelopment #CMS #React #TailwindCSS #SoftwareEngineering
