CMS open projects ideas suggestions

Be very sure there’s an interest, and that’s way beyond ElixirForum as well. This is a very under-served area that’s ripe for disruption and has been for like 5 years at least now.

Building good WordPress sites with actual functionality is messy, error-prone, tough, and almost always non-deterministic. If you guys can pull a good CMS that’s easy for non-tech users you might even start eating from WP’s cake.

Do consider it!

Moved everything regarding WolfCMS here WolfCMS thread suggestions and help and discussions

There will be a Liveview version but i want first to build a SSR version using https://quasar.dev/.

Explanation:

Quasar makes it possible to build for all platfroms linux mac windows ios android using one app.

Also i have a lot of interest in PWA’s.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Nah we don’t have any part of the CMS for user input, it’s just a publishing platform. We are looking at how to map entity relationships between pieces of content though, but that’s for recommendations.

Like the name too. Though I wouldn’t bother with using JS, make it elxir native and just use LiveView for the interactive bits.

I will start working on the new CMS under the name WolfPress to simlar to Wordpress better yet
WolfCMS, easy to remember.

I also wnat to implement the following versions if I will have time a liveview version a svelte version and a vue version(in vue i plan to support a SSR framework). But will see how things go.

The project will start with a simple vue version for live search and other JavaScript needs.

My main goal for this project will be to create my own website with it and a blog comparable with WordPress. The official announcement I will make it when i have MVP(Minimal Viable Product).

If anyone is interested to help you can send me a private message on the forum.

The CMS will be dveloped using the TDD method so all the features will have to be built one by one with end to end testing, this is the goal.

Thanks everyone for the help on this thread and also here Multilanguge CMS database schema, ideas, opinions - #44 by kip for all the ideas suggestions and support.

@kip have you heard about Nunjucks?

What do you think about it, could it be a better options to keep with the new web standards?(because i can’t figure it out why mozzila would build there own template engine)

Also ActivityPub looks a lot like json schemas(with messages attached to each node), so implementing them in a phoenix project requires a json api or a genserver?

Thanks

Awesome thanks for the support and also the experience you shared by building your own CMS.

Do you have a lot relationship between entities in your schemas?

Ex: User likes User followers User Comments User Favorites?

I understand thanks for the quick update.

Also just wanted to say that it looks amazing on how much supported types and libraries it has incorporated, it could really become a game changer in the image manipulation world.

Ahhhh, I am (very slowly) writing a NIF wrapper for it

Thanks @kip for posting your thoughts and also for the links on a path to develop a CMS, they are incredible and very useful.

I have one question how can the libvips library be used with phoenix and absinthe?
