@mgogoulos I would like to take on this feature.

@mgogoulos Just wondering, doesn't this need the frontend/react code?

[amifunny]

@swiftugandan @mgogoulos Yes, it would require React/FrontEnd code base to develop this feature. As mentioned in this issue - https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/issues/7 there was a plan to release it as seperate project in mediacms-io. Is there a plan to release it soon? I am gsoc student looking to make this as my proposal project. It would be helpful to upload frontend codebase as well.

Hi, we're doing some refactoring on the code before it can be released, the plan is to make the release during April.

Frontend code is now available, so we can work on this!
