Strapi is an open-source headless CMS that simplifies development by providing fast and secure APIs, making it easier to access content. Jekyll is a static site generator used for creating personal websites, blogs, documentation websites, corporate websites, etc., and is the engine powering GitHub pages. Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces. Snipcart is an easy-to-implement shopping cart platform that can be integrated with just two lines of code.
