To all #ruby and #rubyonrails folks: I recently forked ComfrotableMexicanSofa CMS and fully moved it to #turbo and all other goodies to be able to use it for my personal portfolio website. I'm planning a lot of features and improvements (including ActivityPub support) so stay tuned for more!

I'm gonna name it Comfy CMS and you can follow it here: https://github.com/mbajur/comfy

Let me know if you have any questions or ideas!

@mbajur ComfortableMexicanSofa never convinced me and I always returned to @alchemy_cms to be honest 😂

@alexanderadam yeah i know what you mean, for me though is that i always come back from alchemy to plain rails 😅 i gave cmsofa a proper try recently and discovered it’s actually a super capable yet simple tool that deserves some modern touch like turbo, importmaps etc

@mbajur my problem is that the #Rails ecosystem already has a lot of simple #CMS.
#AlchemyCMS has features that my customers know from other professional CMS and therefore expect them to be included as well.

However, a #hotwire revamp for #alchemy would be pretty cool as well as the backend is functional but #hotwirejs would clearly be a modern addition.
Or a migration to #ActiveStorage from #dragonfly.

@alexanderadam @mbajur We are actually working on these. Alchemy uses Turbo, TurboFrames and TurboStreams as well ViewComponent and lots and lots of custom-elements. CSS vars over Sass etc. pp. Not quite done yet, but pretty close. Please check out the current main branch.
