20 Marvel Comic Covers That Don't Hold Up Today
Marvel Comics, and their predecessor Timely, have been in business since 1939. It's no wonder that not every cover has aged well. This article discusses racism and inappropriate sexualization in comics. Marvel Comics has published tens of thousands of issues since it started as Timely Comics in 1939. Some of those comics feature iconic cover art, while others' covers are forgettable. However, fans remember some covers for the wrong reasons.
Sanity
What do you like best? With their templates to launch sites via Netlify, they make it really easy to get up and running with sites that get you started. Really low barrier to entry. I also like that they are not committed to just one technology - they even have a Sapper blog starter! What do you dislike? Please support Brave! Also, would love to see more choices than just Netlify.
Prismic
(Reviewed on 03 April 2020) "A Frontend Developer Perspective on Prismic" What do you like best? Prismic has helped us craft unique content sitewide, powered by our content team and not developers. Being able to use prismic for wiki data, blog posts, FAQs, terms/privacy policies, marketing pages, etc has been a huge benefit to our team. Being able to create content types, with custom fields organized how I need them, has been a huge reason I've stuck with Prismic. What do you dislike?
dotCMS
What do you like best? The dotCMS team is committed to supporting their customers to scale the solution to their needs. dotCMS allows a lot of functionality and has potential for integration with other systems. The training resources are excellent. What do you dislike? The Admin Panel could use some refreshing as it is a bit difficult to work with to set permissions and manage pages compared to other solutions. For this reason, having a qualified web developer is suggested.
Butter CMS
(Reviewed on 15 September 2020) "Once you go headless you just won't go back." What do you like best? Butter CMS is very easy to use the built-in API client make calling the API a breeze. As an architect, butter cms gives me more flexibility to use the cms as in ways that can not be used in a traditional CMS like WordPress. A good example is hybrid apps, we let parts of the website to be updated by butter (ie.
GraphCMS
(Reviewed on 08 November 2019) "The single best stack decision I've made" What do you like best? GraphCMS has to be the most feature-complete GQL based CMS out there. Drop any preconceptions you may have about out-of-the-box solutions and give it a spin - the depth this product has is incredible and the support from Fabian is phenomenal, even at 8.30pm on a Friday evening. The free tier quotas are extremely generous for testing purposes and you could easily run a small project with no costs.
Strapi
What are the best aspects of this product? Strapi is packed with tons of powerful functions for developing top-notch apps. But what makes it unique are its features such as the graphical API as well as useful components. It also offers different field types, including the JSON and those that are uniquely designed. What aspects are problematic or could work better? The Strapi Docker image is too bulky for production. It exceeds 1GB in size.
DatoCMS
What do you like best? The complete flexibility of content! I can essentially build a custom database structure to fit our needs and then have an interface for editing live content on our marketing site. What do you dislike? I haven't had any issues yet. This product works very well. Recommendations to others considering the product: I am happy to recommend this product to anyone looking at building a static website. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Agility CMS
What are the best aspects of this product? We are a magazine and we focus on creating content and pages at a fast pace so the ability to create content without coding skills is a time-saver, resource-saving, and more productive. What aspects are problematic or could work better? The editor could be improved, but it’s a minor issue. What specific problems in your company were solved by this product? Creating content without the need to learn to code. Are you a current user of this product?
Kentico Kontent
What do you like best? We're using Kentico to handle content and more. To preserve data from business logic in the current system that has no other space. In case of change in technical requirements it is very easy to expand / update the existing structure. And teaching end-users (editors) what is to be done there is also very easy. What do you dislike? Some features are still needed to maintain data integrity in business-level projects, where data validation is necessary to automate.
Contentstack
What do you like best? The support from Contentstack. The docs, live chat and, of course, customer success are all first class. If there's an query then you can get acknowledgement, if not a solution, very quickly and there will always be an answer.
Directus
This is a popular cloud-hosted headless CMS platform that is available in a free version as well. It supports full-text search, video content, text editor and helps in doing website management and SEO management. Version control helps in auditing revision history to track the editings done. Customizable templates further ease and enhance the tasks. Kentico allows you to create all your content at one unified place. It comes designed with extremely fast API to render content in web pages.
Black Widow (2021)
I have to say I was mostly positively surprised by this movie. I thought it would be horrible, stink to high heaven and I would be forced to write a review around 1/10. But it is not that bad, actually it is okay. The problem with "okay" is that it leaves you feel nothing, and this even if the main character was not already dead in the continuity of the MCU. The only interesting thing about this pointless endeavour is the post credit scene with Yelena.
