Tutorial series for PWA with GraphQL

Overview

• As a developer new to SilverStripe, I want to get a quick overview on building solutions on a decoupled CMS in order to evaluate the products suitability for modern applications
• As a developer with existing SilverStripe experience, I want to apply my existing knowledge to building solutions on a decoupled CMS in order to stay relevant in a changing market

Acceptance Criteria

• Uses React (since that's our stack of choice)
• Popularises the JAMStack use case
• Uses aspects of a Progressive Web App (e.g. manifest)
• Minimises documentation around third party tools (e.g. Apollo)
• Final code can be browsed quickly for devs who know parts of the solution already
• Does not render data through SSViewer
• Frontend implementation is maintainable (minimises duplication between simple theme, watea theme, and potential new demo theme)

Notes

• TBC: Staticpublishqueue or Gatsby?
• If Gatsby: Extra tutorial step to explain how to deploy via Deploynaut API?
• Stretch goal: Offline data support?
• Ingo has built a demo app
• Aaron has used https://github.com/unclecheese/dogapp-frontend and https://github.com/unclecheese/dogapp-backend for his StripeCon talk last year

Start by reviewing the linked demo app and the existing developer documentation to understand the proposed React and GraphQL flow. Resolve the Staticpublishqueue-versus-Gatsby question and define the tutorial steps before implementation; done means a browsable tutorial series covering the listed PWA, JAMStack, decoupled CMS, and maintainability criteria.
