Ah beaten to it. I am working on something similar targeted at .NET platform. Definitely hate how bulky CMS's have become. I wouldn't call these CMSes either. I'd rather call them Content Management Platforms.

#32In your example dashboard screenshot, put some content in there rather than have them all empty. Make up a fake business or use an example from your own work elsewhere?

#33PS. I also like the CMS's that use Blocks for creating a website, eg. what https://buildwithcraft.com/ is doing.

#34This is kinda the direction i am going to, while creating sites for clients and a cms for them (iterating on it, every website). Your layout is much nicer though :P PS. I also like the CMS's that use Blocks for creating a website, eg. what https://buildwithcraft.com/ is doing.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's demanding a email for username instead of admin:admin? Or am I supposed to sign up...
First you get your terminal.com account (they give you $10 of free credit) and them just start a new instance of that terminal. Once you get it running you will will see the admin panel in the embedded browser or just point yours to -80.terminal.com/cockpit/" rel="nofollow">http:// -80.terminal.com/cockpit/
edit - Do this after starting the snapshot:
chown www-data:www-data /var/run/php5-*
Was just a permissions issue.

#37I just wish someone would build a decent CMS on top of silex/symfony/laravel, rather than implement their own framework to drive their CMS, such as in this case (Lime?!).
I want all the extensibility of a fully tested framework but with some batteries included. Pagekit looks as though this could cover my needs.

Sure, but you spent so much effort and time making the beautiful landing page and documentation, you might as well have a demo. I can't be the only person too "lazy" to download, and run it.
thanks, I'll consider it!

#40It looks pretty. I just wish someone would build a decent CMS on top of silex/symfony/laravel, rather than implement their own framework to drive their CMS, such as in this case (Lime?!).
