Anyone building with Statamic?

Watched the series here. It looks kinda cool. I like that is got some history. Thinking of moving my Wordpress blog.

https://statamic.com/

Have you used it? What are your thoughts?

@MohamedTammam, yeah I didnt realize its been around a decade or so. I see a lot of pluses. I have kept my blog (and a few others) on wordpress simply because it was the best solution available for the use. But maybe its time for a change.

@Sinnbeck,

they have their own forum ish. But the videos say its built over laravel so it shouldn't be too hard to grasp. It seems pretty smart. I particularly like the idea of all the code and content being under version control (for a personal blog). I built my wife's site on wordpress last year and the worflow for wordpress isn't elegant.

@webrobert yeah it seems nice. And I have seen it mentioned on Twitter. But strangely no one here seem to use. I am unsure why.

Lots of people use Statamic! The community revolves heavily in our Discord Server — there are ~5k devs in there.

Unfortunately there's no way to watch keywords (that I know of) in the Laracasts forum so it's hard to jump in here and answer things that come up.

@jackmcdade ! I actually just installed via lando and I think I’m taking the plunge. Loved your series by the way.

Also I’m pretty active here. I can @mention you if/when they come up.

I'm trying to learn it. I think hiring a good technical writer for the Docs would be a superb move. It seems like a good idea in its infancy.

@Griehle yeah, im having a mixed experience so far. Good call, the docs don't seem to well-organized, or something. that said, I think its pretty cool. A decade in or whatever. I'll finish the build and maybe do a write up.
