jigsaw VS woocommerce-custom-orders-table

I decided to choose jigsaw as I am familiar with the technologies it's built with (PHP , Tailwind for styling and Blade as template engine) as it will be easy to customize if needed besides that, it comes with decent amount of features out of the box, I barely did any customization to it, just followed the installation instructions and got started.

Also if anyone knows of any third-party templates for Jigsaw, I can't find any except the default blog and docs that they have in their documentation.

I also would argue that the majority of code I see in other languages is equally or worse than the example you gave.

You can write terribly in any language, Laravel included.

We have ~8 Laravel apps and roughly 40-50 Jigsaw projects that we keep up to date like this.

Take a look at Jigsaw from Tighten: https://jigsaw.tighten.co

Now, as for what runs the site. It is a static site, using Jigsaw as the framework. Jigsaw uses Laravel’s blade templating. Since one of my goals this year is to learn Laravel, it was the perfect fit for my site. GitHub is where I've decided to store my repos, and Netlify watches for changes to my main branch and rebuilds my site.

If you want that functionality right now you can use https://github.com/liquidweb/woocommerce-custom-orders-table I've used it multiple times, and have never had problems. There actually is a good chance custom tables could land in WooCommerce this year as all they have to do is integrate that plugin into WooCommerce. The plugin has already gotten heavy use on many big websites, and I know that the WooCommerce team knows about the plugin's existence.

I just want to preface this with a "Tread carefully" - but this might be worth keeping an eye on: https://github.com/liquidweb/woocommerce-custom-orders-table

WooCommerce also has a severe limitation right now, and that's that the orders are still currently a custom post type, and the postmeta table grows to millions of records, eventually slowing down the site. If your site is going to be processing a large quantity of orders, you might be able to use something like this: https://github.com/liquidweb/woocommerce-custom-orders-table , but you should at least be aware of this problem now.
