Looking for a CMS that allows adding images inside rich text similar to Webflow.

At a glance

The community member is looking for a CMS that allows their client to add images inside rich text, similar to the experience on Webflow. They have tried Baserow, Airtable, and Notion, but those platforms do not provide that functionality. The comments suggest several potential solutions:

- Contentful is mentioned as a CMS that works well and has an easy-to-use API.

- Craft CMS is being tested, with a free self-hosting option that includes GraphQL support.

- Storyblok is being tested and seems to have a visual editor that integrates nicely with Webstudio, allowing the client to see the page in real-time.

However, there are some issues with handling images in the rich text that the community members are working to resolve, such as dealing with the image URLs and converting Notion's text blocks to usable content.

Useful resources
Hello guys, can someone help me in finding a CMS that can add images inside rich text. just like we can do on Webflow? I tried using baserow, airtable, notion. but they don't let my client add images or embeds inside the rich text. just regular text. I would like to give a similar experience to my client that is already used to Webflow. thank you in advance

I found one called Contentful, It's working very well so far 🙂 easy to use API.
I’m testing CRAFT CMS. In the latest version, there’s a free option for self-hosting with GraphQL support. It seems to be very flexible. The free version is limited to just one admin account, but for a simple blog, this shouldn’t be a big issue. (It seems there’s an error in the search engine description of the CMS’s free tier.)

I'm testing Storyblok for now. and I'm really liking it so far!

It even has a visual editor that integrates nicely with Webstudio 😄
so the client can see the page in real time what it will look like.
Interesting, got some screenshots of it from storyblok? Curious what it looks like with Webstudio
Amazing. made one for each other 😄 ❤️
It needs a "plugin" integration. it's really cool
The API is really clean. no deep nesting to find each field too.
there is just one issue I found. about the image. when I get an asset I got a URL like that:

the workaround is to create a custom code with the image URL:

Ok, I had a similar issue with Notion when implementing the rich text. it doesn't brings text but a sequence of blocks. but I'm figuring out how to convert them to text:

If I could call the return of a resource, and save it as a variable. I could get Notion blocks then could parse them. because I need to use the page_id . I can send it

something like. https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/${pageID}/children?page_size=100

It's fair to consider it a feature or not? @Oleg Isonen
ok! it works with Storyblok. I just need to get the type of each block then render it. a lot of work indeed .
