Headless Drupal or decoupled Drupal is when you use Drupal only as a storage for content and a frontend that gets the data from the Drupal backend via an API. The front end is usually a JavaScript framework like Angular or Vue. In this example, we use Angular 6 as a front end and we open up my website www.abhaisasidharan.xyz available as JSON objects via an API. This enabled me to create an Angular Single Page Application which pulls content from abhaisasidharan.xyz. 

Login with Facebook, Google or Twitter (or any of the many social media out there) button is essential now because people are lazy. They don't want to fill up forms to sign up for a web service. One-click login/sign up is the perfect solution.
