We hope this is helpful for anyone who wants to make their app, plugin or project headless-ready and API aware. Many thanks to the awesome Maciek Kucmus who did all the hard work to put this together. I only revised and extended some parts. Also feel free to comment or ping me if we forgot something or you want to add more important points to this checklist.
Sometimes I have very stupid ideas. People usually laugh at first, but I've learned that there's truth in every stupid idea. So, my latest dumb idea was to turn CSS into CSS! Sounds great, I know. If you're working with Bootstrap 5 and want to use CSS variables to change the color of some buttons, for example, you'll find that Bootstrap can only handle this in some parts of its components.

The sad thing is that there is currently no date for when Bootstrap 6 will be released.
