I seem to recall there are sites out there using "Headless #Drupal" (custom front-end, Drupal = content store) in D7 already. Any pointers?

Feel free to add your own sites/resources here!

Decoupled NYCCamp 2015

The NYCCamp web architecture team is preparing next year's camp website as Drupal backend with Angular frontend (plus apps). I didn't add it to the list because they're still in progress, but wanted to start the conversation :)

More from NBCU

We've also been working on a decoupled Angular frontend on top of Drupal's REST for other projects at NBCU… more to come!

Extranet

One extranet (sorry, NDA, can't tell more) we delivered this spring is mostly headless : Angular front consuming a mix of Drupal and Drupal-proxied/authenticated resources in a Java+Hazelcast server.

Admin and a few pages still traditional Drupal, though. I think most projects will not change the default admin area anyway, for cost reasons. Or do they ?

jQuery Mobile

Any apps built with jQuery Mobile running decoupled Drupal on the backend?

DrupalGap

DrupalGap 7 utilizes jQuery Mobile and can be used to be build mobile apps and web apps (aka headless / decoupled).

DrupalGap 8 is in itself headless, and can be used with any CSS framework.
