Description
Plasmic is a visual builder and headless CMS for React, created by Chung Wu and Yang Zhang to let whole teams ship web UI without waiting on engineering for every change. Designers and marketers assemble pages with drag-and-drop, reusing the React components and design systems a team already maintains, and developers pull the result into a codebase through loader packages for Next.js, Gatsby, and others. Plasmic supports static generation and server rendering, so visually built pages deploy on any hosting provider.
Key Capabilities:

A headless CMS for managing content alongside design
Code integration through loader packages for Next.js, Gatsby, and React
