“If you need something content-heavy, Wordpress can be exactly what you need. But if you’re trying to make an application, you need something more intense. The internet is splitting between no-code vs ‘code everything’ solutions.”

In This Episode
The ONE feature of Gatsby that makes the whole system so easy AND customizable for users (which you can start using today!)
