Connecting Netlify CMS with RedwoodJS

@rodocite

Is this a hint on what’s to come?

^^ not that I am aware of. But I’m wishing + planting seeds :seedling:

The current inflexibility of RedwoodJS folder structure (I wanted to make a monorepo with all the RedwoodJS /web apps in it sharing the same /api).

^^ Hmm, did you know that a given Redwood Project (i.e. App) can be either a Web side or API side, and doesn’t even require a DB? So one thing you could do is create a project that’s only the API. Then spin it up with yarn rw dev api (note other CLI commands would work similarly like yarn rw build api. Then you could create additional projects that are only the Web side. You’d lose the mono-repo, but gain a singular API. There’d be things to figure out about deployment, but I think it is all possible as is. fwiw
