Looking for a good CMS for a mobile app

from the self-post dept.

I have a simple mobile app that is using Firebase Realtime Database, but the more data I have, the more difficult it is to manage, moderate and update the entries.I was testing some alternatives like Contentful* Strapi and most recently Cockpit headless CMS. They all fulfill most of my requirements but have some serious issues as well:- Contentful is fine, but as it's very expensive as soon as...

Imagine yourself at an airport and trying to order Uber, but be forced to download new 50 MB app. You would immediately try some other app like Bolt or Lyft.

I'm from EU country and it was so convenient to be able to use Uber in NYC the same way as I would in my home town.

When I have some helper widgets then yes. Some things are really hard to do (e.g. stepping through animations), but other are very easy (responsive layout, so I can present the same file on 4:3, 16:9 or other ratios).

I use Flutter Desktop for my presentations. It's faster to make presentation in Flutter for me. Especially after several presentations already done I have my custom "framework" and a lot of helper methods for animation or transitions.
