Hi everyone,
Questions:
What do you think about a CMS built with Phoenix to incorporate Ghost CMS and WordPress features?
What template engine would you recommend to let the users edit directly?
How would the plugin system work?
Would you build it as an umbrella app?
Would you add also a graphql api?
Also I want to build this opensource CMS and use it as my personal blog and website.
Is the MIT license a good option here?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions ideas and constructive arguments and opposing arguments.

I’ve not used either of these so remember that in my remaining answers. ^.^
Absolutely not EEx, it allows arbitrary code execution. You’d want something like markdown or ReST I’d wager.
If you mean plugins for text rendering then both markdown (via commonmark) and ReST specs have methods for that.
I’m anti-umbrella apps so personally no. ^.^
You’d be surprised how nice it is to make a graphql API for it all and even without exposing it externally just do all the calls purely internal and it cleans up so much. I need to see if absinthe has better ways of handling that now rather than reaching into internals like I am in my old version. ^.^;
I’d use a recent Apache license (Apache2?). It’s basically MIT but it also fixes some patent annoyances because the modern world sucks for that stuff.

Awesome, thanks @OvermindDL1 for answering my questions and adding explanations and explaining your point of view.
wolfiton
Sorry I just seen what you wrote .
I wasn’t referring to that. i was referring to plugins like adding new functionality like a map guide or twitter comments and likes. Something like this

Found an old project for a CMS in phoenix called Contento link here Contento: an open source CMS built with Elixir, Phoenix and Postgresql.
There in tha languges rendering engines is mentioned Liquid templates. has anyone worked with them before?
OvermindDL1
That’s just a pipeline of functions to pass a post through when it’s rendered or so. ^.^
wolfiton
Yes but these custom plugins can be created by the user and plugged in there CMS version.
OvermindDL1
Sure, can do it like how discourse does for example, that same pattern would work. Could even do dynamic code loading to load in plugins into the system. This is all a good use for GenEvent or whatever replaces it. ^.^
wolfiton
It appears that is deprecated GenEvent — Elixir v1.20.2 is there any other options?
OvermindDL1
Can always use the erlang one, or use a library, or just make your own registration and dispatcher on GenServer as it is actually quite trivial to do so for such things.
wolfiton
Allowing users to add plugins wouldn’t make the system vulnerable to attacks, is there any option to isolate the new plugin from the code of the cms to vet it somehow?
