I know I'm late to the party on this, but when people say "headless CMS" do they kinda mean the database part of the "database publishing" of 20 years ago?
Like it is storing content separately from the HTML/CSS or app interface so one doesn't have to munge that stuff when making content, or munge content when making a site or app or something, right?
Or is there some new magic in "headless CMS" I'm missing?
