What is the goal(s) of this project?

Greetings,

I understand you are wanting to probably "slim down" Odoo in some fashion, but I am curious what your particular goals are with this project?

Hi,

Here are some potential goals, but currently there isn't a plan, because of my limited time.

• Remove unnecessary addons for running the Odoo core, so that the latest files can be downloaded faster, and focus on the important update with automatical PR. (Done)
• Try to make my own simple Odoo core from the first line
• Try to replace some parts of Odoo. For example, using react for the front part
• Try to make same web applications when learning other languages/web framwork

Thanks for your comment, and you can do them yourself if you are interested!

Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer my question! I am thinking of possibly something similar, but going a different route than what you have outlined. (Create my own compatible ORM for times when needs are less than Postgresql)

One main question I have from your goals is why you want to do this? (It's your project, so don't let the below stop you if that's what you wish :slightly_smiling_face: )

Try to replace some parts of Odoo. For example, using react for the front part

1. In the version of Odoo (>= 15) OWL (Odoo's custom component based JS framework) is very React like and wouldn't take you long at all to pick up if you are familiar with React.
2. If you really want React for some React specific feature etc, wouldn't it make more sense just to use the rpc external api with a separate React frontend?

No warries, suggestions are welcome!

• I haven't work on Odoo for years, and I'm glad to hear the new feature of it. I will look into it when neccessary.

React is not mandatory. I'm just learning React and wondering if the React libs would help develop Odoo apps. External API is a good choice when there is a frontend team, while built-in frontend components may be easier for a single backend developer who is not familiar with frontend like me 🙂

For me the main reason for replacing Odoo base features is to learn, and the project would not be updated frequently. Please do what you want and I'm looking forward to your work!
