@pierre_burgy I'm incredibly proud of this achievement, and the team did an outstanding job! None of it would have been possible without the amazing support from our community. Their feedback was invaluable throughout the alpha, beta, and release candidate stages 🙏.
We made sure the shift from Strapi 4 to Strapi 5 would be as smooth as possible for users. The quality of our development really stood out, and we’ve never tested the software as thoroughly as we did this time.
I can't wait to read the comments!!
@pierre_burgy this is wonderful, will share it with my tech buddies right away. As you already have a CMS inplace are you going to launch any faster way of building websites/apps like webflow or framer?
