Q: I plan to use Swell, which is a headless ecommerce CMS (backend).
I need a frontend, and they recommend builder.io, but I saw this and I'm interested.
Would ReactBricks work as a page builder and editor for Swell? I ask because you call this a headless CMS, but I already have a backend headless CMS, so I find that a little confusing.
My second question is, regarding your blog function. I saw your blog video on youtube and it looks great. However, Swell doesn't support a blog in their CMS. Would I be able to use Swell as the backend ecommerce CMS, but then also use ReactBricks blog functionality, all in the same site?

there is no Swell starter ready for React Bricks.
I think the best thing would be to create the store with Next.js and Swell and then add React Bricks just for the products' landing page editing.
This will be much simpler in a couple of months when we'll create a new way to add easily React Bricks to an existing project, thinking in particular of React e-commerce stores created with a headless e-commerce like Swell or Shopify.
Meanwhile you could create your store using React. I don't know what you would have already done for you in the Builder.io starter: maybe you could also try it to see if it has already everything you need and saves you the dev time to create the frontend.
