       Show HN: Blocks by Cosmic - React components for headless CMS
        
       Hi HN, today we are releasing Blocks
       (https://blocks.cosmicjs.com/), our new data infused components for
       building Cosmic (https://www.cosmicjs.com/) (W19) powered websites
       and apps.  Cosmic is a headless content management system (CMS). We
       provide a dashboard to create content and API tools to deliver
       content to any website or app.  Blocks are pre-built website
       components that you can drop into your project. Choose from landing
       pages, blogs, image galleries, product pages, and more. With Blocks
       you can build these features with Cosmic faster than ever.  It's
       our goal to empower your team to create the best content powered
       websites and apps. Blocks can be considered the missing "head" to
       connect with the Cosmic headless CMS. It is our opinionated
       component frontend for building highly scalable and performant web
       applications built with tools we think offer a development
       experience and performance advantage (React Server Components,
       Next.js, and Tailwind CSS).  React Server Components (RSCs) have
       unlocked a new paradigm in building data-driven web applications.
       By safely encapsulating data-fetching inside components, we can use
       RSCs as building blocks to enable faster and more scalable
       application development. We are excited for the potential of RSCs
       and Blocks. This is just the beginning.  To get started, go to the
       Blocks website (https://blocks.cosmicjs.com/) and follow the steps
       for installation. View the Blocks demo (Agency Template)
       (https://cosmic-agency-template.vercel.app/) to see all of the
       Blocks in action.  Blocks are built to give developers a head start
       with features that are:  - Performance optimized - Draft preview
       ready - Mobile responsive - Localization ready - Dark mode ready -
       Customizable - Accessible - Type safe  Blocks not only provide a
       fast development experience, they have been optimized for speed and
       performance by default, so you can ship production-ready faster.
       Check out the Blocks demo (Agency Template) (https://cosmic-agency-
       template.vercel.app/) to see how building with Blocks can give you
       high scores across the board for performance, SEO, and
       accessibility.  Blocks are open source
       (https://github.com/cosmicjs/blocks) and built with React Server
       Components, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and powered by the
       Cosmic content management system. You can install Blocks into any
       new or existing Next.js (v13+) codebase using the Blocks CLI
       (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cosmicjs/blocks).  Check it out on
       the Blocks website (https://blocks.cosmicjs.com/) and let us know
       what you think in the comments.  Tony

       | These appear to be React components, not web components.

         | You are correct. Blocks are frontend components built with
         | React.
