Re: Writing Room and Content Query API, ideas for reshaping Content Management
#3Yeah I've been thinking about this kind of an approach for a while - the idea of making a content management system that is just a content store that is accessed via API. Like it.
The largest obstacle for me to adopt such a system is that it requires me to bet my company's content on your system being around. I've looked at, for example, Webpop which is different but has some similar ideas - but I can't get away from the fact that Webpop may or may not be around in a year, so betting on it isn't something I would want to do.
That's what continues to push me to Wordpress and the like, although recently I've been spending more time with static web generators like Harp and DocPad. Those have a similar issue - my boss saying to me "Well, I know we can find Wordpress developers, but will wevbe able to find a Harp developer?"

Is your problem related to availability or continuity of the service? Things that could help their, a usable export for the first case. And an insight into the API architecture for achieving scalability and availability for the second.

if you're interested, here is a blog post talking about the API availability https://blog.prismic.io/UlMRYknM0-kFs5Cy/how-prismicio-api-s...

I share the same concerns as you. This looks like a great product, but it needs a big amount of trust and commitment to get any value from it. Usually these kind of services launches with a boom, start giving huge discounts shortly after and then shuts down silently.

I'm working on a product in a similar space to prismic, and as a developer myself, this would also be a concern for me. The way we plan to approach it is offering a self hosted version of the product, and committing to an open source warranty so that if something went wrong with the company the product could live on. Would these kind of measures make you feel more confident?

#8I've been playing with Prismic.io during this beta period and think it looks like an awesome product with great potential, but I just can't bring myself to actually use the writing side of it for any length of time.
Is there a way to turn off all the skeuomorphic design elements? Paper background? Lots of sliding panels, it's really hard to navigate around and very busy, even on a big screen. I think they need to completely cut it back and simplify, and I'd use it in a heartbeat.
The API based separation is a good idea for real sites (vs blogs), I think it will catch on and is a much better design than the all in one CMS design behind things like Wordpress, Drupal or Ghost.

Experience with a specific product is way overrated because a) products don't last forever, programming does b) any decent programmer can learn how to work with harp in about the same time it would take a Wordpress expert to get up to speed with your particular Wordpress setup
