Strapi recently launched its first "Coffee Talk," a Q&A session featuring Aurélien Georget, the company's Chief Product Officer, who discussed various aspects of Strapi's development, vision, and future plans. Georget emphasized Strapi's focus on developer and user experience, noting ongoing efforts to refine the codebase and administration panel. He highlighted the importance of community feedback in shaping Strapi's roadmap, which includes rebuilding the plugin framework and introducing features like repeatable fields and a translation plugin. Georget compared Strapi's open-source, customizable nature to Storyblok's cloud-based solution, emphasizing the former's ownership advantages. He addressed questions on GraphQL versus REST, Windows support, and Strapi's use cases, mentioning notable users like IBM and Asos. Despite being open-source, Strapi aims to monetize through premium plugins and potentially offering support and hosting services in the future. Georget also touched on the potential for a SaaS version and affirmed the goal to release a stable version of Strapi 3 later this year.
