Are there any other websites using a similar configuration?

It's hard to find resources out there to compare this work with other similar yet vastly different developments. The MOMA being the closest I can find.

This is quite complex and – I'm wondering if you'd be willing to help me move this into easier setup. Thoughts?

notslang commented 10 years ago

I don't know of any websites with a similar config other than MoMa. However it would be pretty easy to build one because I made a nice reusable component for reading from a WordPress JSON API: https://github.com/slang800/wp-json-client.

As for a simpler setup, you could look into just making it a static site - that way there would be no WordPress backend to deal with. That's what I did for my portfolio, and as a bonus I can deploy it with just GitHub pages.

Is your portfolio slang.cx? I'm looking for something a bit more complex w/images and sorting.

notslang commented 10 years ago

Yep, and there's http://carrot.is - that's just a static site, but it's not open-source

ccsouthard commented 10 years ago

Carrot is impressive. Any open-source rumors on the config?

notslang commented 10 years ago

The config is actually really minimal (like 27 lines)... it's basically the standard roots config, with https://github.com/carrot/roots-dynamic-content added

ccsouthard commented 10 years ago

wow. huge site w/cool effects. I imagine a sophisticated markdown based organizational system. There's a fair amount of content.

Is the new version almost ready to ship?

we've released like 8 RCs for it (so you can certainly play with it), but it's not out of beta yet
