Thanks, Michael!
Today my team and I watched half of your tutorial and itās quite interesting: the Frontityās object contains a lot of organized data. Good! Regarding the WP plugins, we googled about it a little bit and it seems that Yoast and Advanced Custom Fields are already integrated with the WP REST API.
Weāll give it a try in the next days. Looking forward to give you a detailed feedback on our experience with Frontity.
Best,
Cesar
Hey Ankaa, Iād like to know about your experience as weāre starting to play with Frontity as well. It may be interesting to share experiences as weāre on the same learning level.
Hi Cesar, we have a little experience, but if we can help it would be great, if you want you can send me a message with your doubts maybe there is something we already tried.
In summary we tried to use the data from the post and categories, custom post types, create a handler to get the data from a options acf page, multilanguage site (es/en) and now we are trying to get the menu from Wordpress
Awesome, great to have you on board! We look forward to receiving your feedback and to your participation in the community. Iām sure youāll have lots to contribute and share.
Hi! My name is Francesco Riggio, teacher and IT Sysadmin at Mohole school, Web & Digital Media department, in Milano, Italy.
Iām active in the WordPress community as co-organizer of Meetups in the city where I live (Piacenza) and as speaker in WordCamp (Bari 2019) and other Meetups (Milano 2018 and 2020). I like music, sci-fi and the open source.
Iām not a good JS/React developer, but I really like the opportunity that REST API brings, and Iāve tried Frontity, focused to WordPress. Iāve made a working version of my blog in Frontity in few hours, very simple! 
Here is my original blog FFLAB in WordPress and here in Frontity: https://fflab.dev
Iām planning to present Frontity in a future local Meetup talk.
Ciao!
Hey @AnkaaStudio welcome to Frontity, really happy to see agencies coming to Frontity 
Regarding how to get the menus from WordPress, here you have a dicussion where itās explained: How to fetch Menu from wordpress?
Ciao @riggio.francesco welcome to Frontity
Great to see people so involved in the WordPress community trying Frontity out!
This sounds great! Please let us know if we can support you anyhow. I invite you to open a thread here so you can share with the community how did it go.
thank you @Pablo !
I was just watching the video of your talk at Js Nation Live 2020! Iāll plan a talk in September 2020, hereās our WordPress Meetup Piacenza Page. Weāll release the event in live conference mode, we have to confirm the platform, if Google Meet with free request on our Meetup page or also live streaming (FB or YT). Itās a local group, so weāll speak in italian. The topics will be brief presentation of Rest API, Frontity and my little case history, my blog [https://fflab.dev] (https://fflab.dev) hosted in NOW, how I made it, hosted and customized the Twenty Twenty Frontity Theme relating the original WP blog https://fflab.info/blog that is made with Twenty Twenty WP Theme + some child theme customization, comparing performance with Page Speed, GTMetrix and Lighthouse.
My blog in Frontity is only a basic proof of concept, ( and lot of nerd fun in made it!) the blog rendered with Frontity is missing the widgets (footer) and the comments. Iād really appreciate if you have some hints about it, if and when Frontity will support that features (Iām reading some post about it in your forum). Thank you again!
This sounds great 
Keep us posted, and again, if you feel like we can support you somehow, please open a thread here
Regarding the comments, we are about to launch an official package: WordPress comments package stay tunned to our releases. For the widgets and the footer, I guess youāll have to code that in the theme yourself, in any case feel free to open a thread here with your specific case if you need help
Hi ! I am new to Frontity ! As I was researching JS framework to build user interface for Wordpress LMS system. Great to be here.
Thanks
I havenāt formerly introduced myself here, but Iām registered for over a month. So itās long overdue to do thisā¦
I am Dominique Pijnenburg, Iām one of three owners of a Dutch company called Noeste IJver (website). the developer part of our company isspecialized in developing custom WordPress websites. The other half of the company is focused on designing those custom sites, but also corporate identities, logoās, etc.
We are looking into Frontity, I expect it might be the way-to-go for us to develop sites in the future, instead of the PHP based themes which we create now.
Hey @dominique great to have you here
May I ask how far do you see yourselves from transitioning to Frontity? If thereās something blocking you, could you share with us what is it?
We are constantly improving our product and docs, and this kind of info is really valuable.
Hey @Pablo!
Thereās still many challenges to overcome for us, I will highlight some of these below. I am considering rebuilding our companyās site in Frontity as a case, to learn more about Frontity and see what questions will pop up during the process.
React
As mentioned above, my company is still living in a PHP world. We use JS for manipulating pages (and we mainly use jQuery for that), React is no common ground for us yet. So we have to educate ourselves.
No blogs, but corporate sites
We donāt really build many blog sites (where Frontity is perfect for), but Corporate sites. Some examples:
I havenāt seen many examples for these kind of sites yet, the only one that comes close is the frontity.org site itself, but thatās just one page.
Gutenberg?
I am still a bit on a loss on how to use Gutenberg best. I know itās possible to import the CSS file of the editor in your Frontity installation and then the default Gutenberg blocks will work. But Iām not sure how to implement custom Gutenberg blocks. Do I have to import a CSS file for every custom block?
Iāve also seen your talk on javascriptforwp about supporting Gutenberg and would like to re-watch it, but this isnāt possible yet. I donāt really have a clue about how youāve added those custom blocks. Furthermore Iād like to see (and use) the front page of frontity.org in Gutenberg, maybe thatāll clear things up.
Previews
I know you guys are working on this and I am very curious how it will work, but for now this is something thatās missing
Gravity Forms
We like the functionality of Gravity Forms very much, in my opinion itās a much better plug-in then Contact Form 7. But CF7 has a Frontity package with support for some of the fields, Gravity Forms doesnāt. Iāve added a feature request for this on their site, but Iām unsure how fast (if ever) they will pick that up.
WooCommerce
I havenāt invested much time in this, but I think creating a webshop with Frontity should be possible. But at the moment it seems like a lot of work to support all functionality of WooCommerce in Frontity. Feels like āreinventing the wheelā.
Live filtering
We use the plugin Search & Filter Pro a lot for live-filtering archive pages. Iām unsure on how to implement such a solution in a Frontity website.
Some more questions
Currently Iāve also posted some questions on the forum and am awaiting answers, but this is just the tip of the iceberg:
Hey @dominique thank you very much for your detailed answer
Corporate sites
Itās true that it can look like Frontity is more focused on WordPress blogs than in WordPress corporate sites, as our official themes are for blogs. In any case, I think that Frontity is also a really a good fit for corporate sites as well, as you can build a really performant UI with instant navigation that will create a great impression on the visitors. A really good example of this is the awsm.in website (showcase thread). Iām really excited about the upcoming release of the auto-prefetch, this will allow everyone to make any page-load feel instant in a really easy way.
Gutenberg?
As soon as the talks of the JavaScript for WordPress conference are available on Youtube @SantosGuillamot is planning to write a detailed guide explaining how we built our site and the best practices to combine Gutenberg and Frontity.
Good to know that thereās interest on this area.
WooCommerce
I know that @juanma and @mburridge are experimenting the current possibilities, and are planning to release a Frontity Talk video sharing their research combining WooCommerce and Frontity.
Right now I think that the best resource is this thread: How do I add woocommerce endpoint to the state?
Live filtering
I invite you to open a thread and share your research and the challenges encountered with the plugin that you mention.
Happy to see that you are actively sharing your questions in the community and also helping others!
See you around
Hi @dominique,
I havenāt seen many examples for these kind of sites yet, the only one that comes close is the frontity.org site itself, but thatās just one page.
In addition to what @Pablo mentioned, here are a few more examples:
You can also check them out in our showcase page: https://frontity.org/showcase/. We are planning to add more as soon as we have the permission of their authors and clients.
Hope it helps!
