    Cool to see this out, but there is something about Tailwind I've never really got. And this is not from abstraction, but in production use on a number of pretty large sites. Each T…

    Thanks! I guess none of them are amazing, which is why you built this :)

    This is very cool and interesting. Are there any other Zapier clones out there in the open source world?

    You probably understand these points better than I do! I just don't think it is truly as bad as has been made out by the initial comment.

    Massive fan of Laravel. If the relationship between Statamic and Laravel is similar to that between Wagtail and Python, plus the static storage, it seems like it would be very good…

    This is true. I understand other languages (for example Go) have very nice features of this kind - contextual auto-escaping and so on. However a lot of other languages also have th…

    Fair enough. Probably at "agree to disagree" here. I'll agree that its easier to do custom post types on other CMS. But sometimes at the cost of real overheads in terms of complexi…

    Massive props to Studio 24 for showing their working in public on all of this. It is amazing to see. More large scale projects of this kind should do this sort of thing. Its really…

    Most of this plain isn't true - afraid it does feel very much like a bubble there! > - Uses PHP 5 spaghetti code with a handful of garbage event listeners and output buffering I me…

    It's a perennial but: unit tests are more about how you think and rigourously approach a problem than preventing regression. I'd say if you wrote unit tests and then deleted them, …

    No, I'm not. Libraries were certainly used in this case. But whereas in Rails this would be mixing in a library to a controller to allow events and configuring them, this was build…

    While this is a great talk, and a great web app, I think there is a bit of over compensation on their part, because of them being in the unique position of having founded and had t…

    "The value of a software is not the code itself but in the reasons behind the existence of that code" I wholly agree with this. However, I'm sort of baffled by this approach. What …

    Usually cooperatives have to have a base in one country for legal reasons as (sadly) they need some kind of legal recognition. But in a sense this makes no difference from remote f…

    Happy to hook you up with someone to advise, but as people are saying would be good to know your location first.
