The tutorial provides a detailed guide on creating a Notion clone using Strapi and Next.js, beginning with the setup of a Strapi backend to act as a content hub. Strapi, an open-source CMS, is praised for its speed and developer-friendliness, supporting REST and GraphQL APIs and integrating with major frontend libraries. The project involves creating data structures for pages and content blocks, establishing relationships between them, and configuring access permissions to enable interaction via GraphQL. Users learn to execute queries and mutations in the GraphQL playground to manage data. The tutorial concludes with a promise of a follow-up article, where a Next.js client will be developed to leverage the GraphQL API, with insights from Marie Starck, a full-stack developer and tech writer.
