Version One
davidapple opened this issue · 2 comments
I remember discovering and Anchor CMS back in 2014 and helping out with the development a little bit. It's a great lightweight CMS and I love it.
It's a little disappointing that we're now in 2018 and there is still no version one. Have you considered hiring developers to help develop this project into a version one? If funds are a problem, have you considered crowd funding the money to hire some developers?
What would it take to lift Anchor out of alpha/beta?
Hey David! Maintaining a project like AnchorCMS requires a lot of work and dedication. There have been a lot of important changes over the last four years, but as you've noted, no version one as of now. That is to say: Anchor is definitely production-ready and used for quite a few sites around the globe.
Nevertheless, we are still working on the CMS and version one in particular.
I usually just ignore comments like these, but this bugs me right there:
Have you considered hiring developers
I don't know which field you come from, but... I'm a developer. Hiring me costs you around 1k € per day currently, and that's cheap. Rewriting Anchor will take around 200-400 days, as a rough estimate.
If you know where I can crowd fund a quarter million for a cool but small CMS, I'm happy to work on it full-time 😉
It just takes time. We're all just guys with day jobs, friends and family. Please bear with us: We've not forgotten AnchorCMS.
anchor only needs mobile admin theme, to write the post or share the photos.
