It is not just git though. It's looking at no code participation as well.
Yes but the two projects are run differently. Most of discussions around Kirby happen on the official discord server or on the official forum. So looking at git activity is not really all that useful.

#62Oh, it's PHP - neat. Personally I think Statamic is the entry to beat for flat-file CMSes in the PHP space. This project is the Symfony flavor I suppose (vs Statamic being based on Laravel).
Personally think https://getkirby.com is the entry to beat but I guess it’s just because I’m used to it and it works incredibly well for my use case.

Yes you are right about not having the complete picture, as far as no code activity goes.

I've had the pleasure to build a small website with Kirby and it was such a joy to use as a developer. The only problem I faced was with my client as he was used to Wordpress and making the transition to Kirby was a bit rough for him.
I'm lightly looking into alternatives to WordPress. Obviously CraftCMS come up, but being a paid product - nothing work with that per se - does limit its appeal for some projects / client. So maybe there's a place for Kirby?

Can you unpack this a bit? What was rough? How much of that was the client not being able to change? I'm lightly looking into alternatives to WordPress.

But even from a code perspective I'm not sure comparing repos is always all that useful. I'm not sure about Grav but on the Kirby side, if I'm not mistaken, the current official repo started with the v3 and the two previous versions were archived. So you're only comparing the code activity from ~2019 onwards but Kirby has been around for more than 10 years at this point.
I do want to make it clear that Kirby is a very healthy project, if anybody is misinterpreting the data.

Thanks for the additional info. If we are were to just look at the repo stats, Kirby is a lot more active than Grav right now. Do you happen to know what the archived repos were and if they are public? If you look at https://devboard.gitsense.com/getkirby you can see the insights for all the kirby org repos I do want to make it clear that Kirby is a very healthy project, if anybody is misinterpreting the data.

#68Sorry, nowadays i use json file to store metadata, then query with asql (sql for json), then parse the markdown to browser. Frameworks need to die, just give the fuck core libraries to work across frameworks, or you get "vendor locked-in" sooner or later.
How does that work for multiple editors that aren’t programmers?

Keep in mind that Kirby is also a paid product
