Cockpit
Add content management functionality to any site - plug & play / headless / api-first CMS (by agentejo)
Project mention: Ask HN: Any Recommendations for a Headless CMS? | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-03-11I've been using Cockpit (https://getcockpit.com/) for a few internal and personal projects now.
It's lightweight and easy to use. Just upload the folder to your webspace (minimal PHP requirements!) and you are good to go.
Create some collections for you data, link them if needed, and you can immediately use them via the API endpoints AND also via a GUI for CRUD operations.
This is really great because my colleagues are non-technical and I don't need to write some frontend for them to update data and so on and can concentrate on the "real task".
Documentation on the other hand is awful, to the point where you better refer to the "inofficial documentation" (for the interested: https://zeraton.gitlab.io/cockpit-docs/) with no way to improve the official one.
So, while I LOVE the ease of use, I wondered if somebody has a recommendation for a similar solution which might be somewhat more "mature" in regards to the documentation.

I'm not looking for the overthrow of CRUD-through-MVC. Rather, Hobo and Hoodie seemed like advances---Hobo was sort of Rails for Rails, and Hoodie was an offline-first framework for something like what we now call Progressive Web Apps---when I tried them early in their life-cycle, but both seem to have withered away. And nobody else (that I can find) seems interested in improving graphical design (as in, "just use Material Design, or Carbon, or whatever"), cleaner parent/child relationships, automatically updating views and controllers to match changes to the models, and probably features that I don't know that I need.

Project mention: [q] using trading sites safely without breaking any "rules" (Reddit and otherwise) | reddit.com/r/csgomarketforum | 2022-03-23
However, it seems all third-party skin sites (such as csgofloat and skinport), and even Reddit's CS:GO Trading site, require you to log in at some point with your Steam credentials to really use the tools properly (such as database searches, etc.), which really worries me.
