Revamp Goliath codebase #11

Open arkokoley opened 7 years ago

arkokoley commented 7 years ago

The entire codebase needs to be rewritten in many ways to adapt to the changes WordPress has gone through over the past 3 years. Wordpress now has more powerful and safer ways of interacting with its data through the WP GraphQL.

Upgrading the code to use this powerful API would make it easier to develop and install Goliath.

The idea is to make Goliath into a open platform for developing beautiful administrative interfaces for Wordpress and other frameworks like Rails.

To do so, the best strategy would be to use React with GraphQL.

The post which originally inspired Goliath is available at: https://web.archive.org/web/20130218162521/http://john.onolan.org:80/ghost

The idea was to have a dashboard like the one in the above link with elements from svbtle, while having a post editor which was similar to Medium.

This issue is critical and should be tackled before any further enhancements are done.
