Convert to Wordpress #32

What's stopping us from finding a comparable theme on Wordpress? What would that cost, and why wouldn't we do it?

Things it would offer:

Twitter integration
Instagram integration
Mailchimp integration?
Scheduled posts
Guest posts

Detractions?

Searching for plugins with the required functionality is a pain. This is furthered by featured being distributed between free and paid tiers. Searching for plugins feels much less productive than building features.

After having a quick look, we could get most functionality cheaply:

Theme $30+
Scheduled posts (built in) - $0
Mailchimp - $0
User Submitted Posts -$0
Social Networks Auto Poster {SNAP} - $0 (+$50 for instagram)

For nomad-as-fuck, it could be an easy solution. But we would be married with WordPress…

Let's find a way to do scheduled posts in Jekyll or some other static site provider. I think that's smarter. I don't want to be stuck with WP, and I like the Markdown DB more.

What about Netlify CMS?

What about Netlify CMS?

This looks fantastic. I'm going to try it with my blog.

Let's try Netlify CMS if it will help us with scheduled posts. If not, let's figure out that solution. For now, let's fix other stuff first - scheduled posts aren't needed yet for NAF.
