    The maintainer is apparently infamous for lashing out against people trying to report potential vulnerabilities.

    He had a similar attitude all the way back in 2014:

    > i'm closing this as its a waste of time.

  • CraftCMS

    Build bespoke content experiences with Craft.

    Project mention: Different flavors of content management | dev.to | 2023-08-28

    The most typical approach is having a CMS admin panel sit somewhere on the server; everyone with an account uses this. This is a very convenient approach, especially when working with a team. This way, many people can work on different articles simultaneously without worrying about potential conflicts or overwriting stuff. The only con is related to security - everyone can try to get inside, and if you forget to update our CMS or some user have a weak password, it can be someone outside of our team. WordPress, Drupal, CraftCMS, or Ghost are perfect examples of such CMSs.

  • TYPO3

    The TYPO3 Core - Enterprise Content Management System. Synchronized mirror of https://review.typo3.org/q/project:Packages/TYPO3.CMS

    Project mention: Classic Themes with Block Patterns in WordPress | dev.to | 2023-05-23

    I doubt that WordPress is in danger. Its multiverse / flexibility and ease of use compared to real content management systems like Typo3, NEOS or Drupal, and the ability to just install it and control your content on your own webserver, try that with Wix, WebFlow, SquareSpace, Shopify and all those "serverless" software as a service servers. Hopefully, the core team will either get their block editor right some day (WordPress 7.0?) or make it completely optional. That would still be better than a fork, but I'd wished they had improved security, performance and internationalization instead of releasing the new editing features in an unstable beta state.

  • Backdrop CMS

    Project mention: Alternatives to Laravel? | /r/PHP | 2023-06-29
