Updated description!<br /> Fuck Wordpress in the ass with a new kind of cms. Make devs happy with clean code. And Laravel

Description
I (and hopefully soon we) create a component driven cms. With one major flick: You don't Code the template you teach it. Imagine a plain HTML template. In this project you teach the template where the navigation, sidebar etc... is via view components. A Component can be just a collection of other components. The menu consists of an list component which contains a set of text components. Whoa but uncle data, that's slow as fuck. Think about all that nested sql! Fear not, dear fellow! We recompile and cache the output to make the template as lightweight as possible! But that's not all, there's more! The projects is module driven, so you can add and remove functionality without hassle. Add your extensions without core tinkering or digging through a shitload of nested code. And all that with your favorite Laravel sugar! Check the ranting original description below: I've been ranting about Wordpress for a long time. Code is ugly as fuck. Extrafunctionality always seem like monkeypatched shit. I want to create something better. Build on top of laravel. Let's get to the gist of it: I want to create a component based cms with the ability to eat every kind of HTML template as base. UI is created in forms of widgets. That means you can buy any theme you want and throw it into the setup process. A screen pops up and you have to do a short setup like selecting different components and assign it to a widget. Widgets can be anything from simple text areas, sliders, loops, portfolio, or even different kinds of wigdet(collection)s like a sidebar containing the menu widget, etc.... selecting should feel naturally like dev tools in the browser by selecting an area and just asign it. Extra functionality can be implemented rather simple in form of different widgets, no more me half assed shit. Just directly embedded inside the core without any themerelated crap which relies on 4thparty plugins. Make designers happy, they can use blade, smarty, twig or just plain old HTML. If you want to fuck Wordpress, typo3 and everything else into oblivion hit me up. Looking for motivated people. If things go right we go all the way startup. Join the crew, fuck Wordpress, fuck everything, make happy code

    Only problem with this is that it would turn into another wordpress/joombla/etc but ignoring that fact what type of websites is it going to be made for? Wordpress is blogs even though people twist it way to damn much

    @jckimble pretty much everything. On typo3 I thought stuff was always over complicated. On wordpress I thought everything is bullshit. Joomla.... well The core was so rotten for such a long time and probably still is so it lost all reputation on me. To not suffer a cms fate you have to ensure stuff can easily get implemented as in wordpress and not fuck you over as in wordpress

    @Data-Bound everything as in wix or as in abusing composer to pull in plugins that are needed. By the way the lack of scope conserns me, most likely going to become non-maintainable because of that

    don't yet another, just go help on laravel or fuelphp or something not fucking insane like joomla and drupal and WordPress

    Personally I like the idea but I feel like something simple (for personal sites/blogs) and well-written would be cool.

    Also, it's a great point about WordPress. The code is so ugly it's incredible.

    Take a look at what the guys at http://sulu.io did. It's Symfony based but imo a step in the right direction.

    Middleman is great and generates static content (less exploitable).

    Ok so let's clear some things up:

    1. if you don't like doctrine, don't use it I don't use it either.

    2. eloquent is quiet nice if you like to do queries yourself use the underlying DB object, that basically just PDO

    3. laravel plays nice with everything if you do things right.

    4. laravel Router is the best I've seen so far and I've seen like all major frameworks

    5. you like modules? No problem I implemented a module structure in laravel.

    6. no zend is not an option I've used zend 2 and found it garbage

    @rrishi i would love that, unfortunatly I don't have time at the moment, my wife lost her job and now I'm overtiming and freelancing to pay the bills. But the project is definitely not dead.... especially since every damn client wants some wordpress

    I have a simple WordPress clone, but with Yii2 framework.

    Doesn't have all the features from WordPress, only those I use for my clients.

    For administrator backend @Data-Bound and others - What do you think would be suitable. Bootstrap, Material. Custom or etc.

    Please advise.

    @PoweredByCoffee im not biased torwards anything. Truth be told I haven't even thought about that yet. I personally would go for a flat material but I'm still open for suggestetions. Luckily I got some time soon then I will push a new update. As of now I need to get a few things working the way I intend them too and write some documentation.

    I hit some personal milestones like the recursive rendering of components.

    @Data-Bound Hows the baseline coming so far?

    @jckimble actually pretty great. Through the modular structure I can add core modules which provide the basic workings and makes it easily extendable. I pretty much wrote a few modules and trashed them while tinkering with the event engine I had in mind.

    The other thing are the different types of element renderers. Of course there will be default set of renderers but I'm not 100% happy the way they work right now. As of now they concat HTML strings. I wonder if I should keep it that way since you can override the renderers with you own renderer. I feel like overdesigning a few things but hey this is so early in development I can silently trash things that didn't work out since it's not used in production so far.

    Once I feel like hitting the next milestone I will push to the dev branch again. As stated before I was pretty busy with reallife lately but I'm glad I have the time to tinker on it again.

    @Data-Bound any reason you're not using laravel packages as the plugin system?

    Yeah i know that feeling I've been working on a composer/laravel web installer but I've been busy myself

    @jckimble yes, the whole system is run on top of laravel and not really integrated. For example is an aweful lot of things happening in the database. A lot is not independent enough to run as a package in my opinion. Even as of now I can see it becoming a framework on top of laravel.

    Or in short, laravel becomes library not the system it runs in on the long term

    I did something to deal with the same problem with a different approach. I separate the problem in two independant projects: a Content Manager and a Static Site generation. Maybe we can join forces. By the way my projects are Plain PHP7 without depending on composer or frameworks like Laravel. I like just sudo apt install php; Download the code and require_once. Maybe we can join forces, you can see what I have done here https://github.com/edwrodrig/...
