Depends on what's needed. I mostly built custom solutions with Rails based on the update frequency a client has.
Editable page trees? My experience is most people don't need a feature like that. Most pages don't change their site structure in years and content maybe changes once a year. Even built a gem just for this.
If something changes once a month or more frequent – like blog posts – that might warrant building a feature for it. But even then. It all comes down to who manages the sites content / updates. If the customer doesn't want to learn how to handle the CMS and you have to apply all updates, go with something you enjoy working with. I for myself didn't like working with Wordpress and went full "static" for most of my clients. Clients are happy they don't need to learn a complex CMS and I'm happy I can deliver fast updates with a few lines of code and a git push.
Thanks for the insight Joanna!
As for the consideration as an admin, I've to thankfully decline. I'm trying to get my own projects off the ground. Adding something new would only distract me and that isn't going to help anyone – especially not your community :)
This is great! You've achieved more than 90% ever will. Don't give up now. I know it's hard and can be frustrating sometimes. I can recommend reading The Slight Edge. It's about progress and putting in the work day after day.
May I ask how you gained this many users for your Slack community?
Thanks for sharing Robleh. Currently working on a new product and doing research on how and where to market it. This delivers another piece of the puzzle.
Those things are highly dangerous. My cofounder and me buyed a one wheel segway (basically a Airwheel without branding) from Alibaba.
Second day, driving on the sidewalk, losing my balance, fake Airwheel flies into oncoming traffic and misses a car by about 2mm. Never touched that thing again.
Thanks Yannik. Would love to see what you came up with!
Fixed. Thanks for the hint :)
I'm currently looking for some interesting people and desks to interview. Any recommendations?
Friend of mine wrote a good article about this called The Death of Individuality online.

As I said, I think it depends on what a client needs.
What was the clients reason for changing up the page structure that often?
