How TachyonCMS stacks up, honestly
You're probably weighing TachyonCMS against something you already know. Each page below puts v0.1.0 beside it, row by row, with a link for every claim about the other product. And each one ends by saying who should pick which, even when the answer isn't us.
TachyonCMS and WordPress
WordPress hands an editor a finished site on day one. TachyonCMS v0.1.0 is an API with no admin screen yet. Here's where each one really stands.
TachyonCMS and Strapi
Strapi's Community edition and TachyonCMS are both open-source headless CMSs under MIT. Strapi has an admin panel, media, drafts and translations today. TachyonCMS has a REST API and access rules, and not much else yet.
TachyonCMS and Contentful
Contentful is a hosted content platform with editors, previews and a CDN ready to go. TachyonCMS is software you run yourself, and it's still an API without an admin.
TachyonCMS and Sanity
Sanity pairs an editor you shape in code with its Content Lake, where your content is stored. TachyonCMS keeps everything in your own Postgres, and doesn't have an editor yet.
TachyonCMS and Directus
Directus puts an API and a web app on top of a SQL database, and it's ready for editors now. TachyonCMS is Postgres-only, MIT, and still an API without an admin.
The short version: TachyonCMS is pre-alpha, and there's no admin screen yet. If someone who doesn't write code needs to publish next week, every product here will serve them better today. The pages say exactly where.
