Disappointed...

[WebDeern]

I am really disappointed and I tell you why:

I was looking for a lightweight flatfile CMS and I was happy to find Bludit.
I joined the "PRO"-level

I started.

• admin panel: ok, clear
• themes: there are some, but: no real information, some links broken etc.
  nearly no documentation to find, no configuration: footers, headers
• plugins: as with themes: no documentation, nearly no configuration
• support: forum seems to be dead, no reactions, nearly no solved problems
• Documentation: poor

My conclusion:
This is a a CMS which defines itself as Simple, Fast, Secure, Flat-File CMS
I see it as a platform for clairvoyants with year-long patience for getting questions answered or problems solved

For me a waste of time.

Yeah...

Latest stable release is v3.22.0, with same things with new look in admin panel.

But I'm with you about plugins and themes... it is complicated keep using it if you need minimal things of today.

It is disappointing that you are disappointed.

This is a a CMS which defines itself as Simple, Fast, Secure, Flat-File CMS

And does it measure up to that? I certainly find that it does.

And if you look at the bottom of the page it shows "Total members 1371". It is seriously not Wordpress with many millions of users. It is a niche CMS – that is pretty cool but, yes, could do with more user-friendly stuff. The forum is slow – but not impossible. As a small time developer, I have to say that putting stuff together, testing it and such is time consuming and documentation can be a bit of an after thought. And think of a small admin trying to keep the whole thing afloat (eg. recent plugin-page blip, etc.).

It is free and open source so I generally think 'what can I offer in return?' You have contributed some money and that is appreciated. Thank you.

>> Forum dead ???
One of your 3 posts was in relation to my read-more-less plugin. I replied and gave you help but I was disappointed that you 1: didn't thank me 2: didn't reply to acknowledge or say if the fix had helped or not. I am not dead – and it is not too late.

Patience is a virtue. Its rewards are manifold.

go well – Kusalo
