In e-commerce space you might take a look at: https://theheadlessclub.com/. It's exactly what you're looking for. Quote from about page:

"Most directories tend to put emphasis on shiny and showy hyper-animated web experiments. Unfortunately, many of these projects fail when criteria like performance, mobile, usability, and accessibility are considered. It’s hard to find one single resource on the internet that would combine both the technological excellence and highly polished design in ecommerce space. The Headless Club started as an internal agency tool to foster ecommerce best-practices across our development team. Now we’re sharing our findings with you."

Disclaimer: I'm the co-author (with folks from commerce-ui.com agency). We'll soon make it not specific to headless but to all e-commerce stores.

Help: what are “headless e-commerce stores?”

Is that like having an eComm shop built atop Shopify?

[r00dY]

Headless means that you're using e-commerce platform only via API and build your front-end in whatever tech you want (next, nuxt, Remix, etc). It's different from a traditional approach when e-commerce platform handles front-end (HTML templates rendering). In Shopify can do both.

Funny that headless is now considered "traditional," when that was considered standard for a decade and a half. Relying on the platform was considered amateur.

"Traditional" is just another way to say "what was once the norm", so your comment is a bit pleonastic. Is relying on the platform no longer considered amateur? If yes, call me old fashioned, because I've never liked those platforms...

Well, those who now use shopify used to use prestashop, magento or shopworn before. Not sure if all of those stores were run by amateurs.
