Content production

> Use cases about web frameworks and static site generators 

As many of you were asking us about how to use different frameworks (like Angular and React) or static site generators with platformOS, we wrote two use cases that explain the steps required to use any static site generator and show some examples (Angular 8 and Gatsby).

• NEW Using Gatsby with platformOS 

• NEW Connecting an Angular Single Page Application with platformOS
