What do you dislike about the product?
A challenge we faced was related to circular references on the data that was returned from the Contentful API. This was a major hurdle as we couldn't find a simple solution for this problem which happened to be a common problem amongst others. Because we had to handle circular references and implementing work arounds, it led us to developing a less than ideal development process. This aspect was time consuming and made it more complex.
While we experienced this setback, we appreciate the efforts made by Contentful to implement continuous improvements and we hope to see enhancements in handling circular references in future.
