Why not Wordpress

Wordpress was good for me, Imran since 2007 when I was introduced to it. For more than a decade it was my "Golden Hammer". But I have been building file based players and viewers and sites since 2000, so in 2019 when one of my wordpress sites got hacked, I decided to go all out and build something with "fresh perspective" solving many of the development and authoring hurdles I have seen building both simple and entgerprise websites.

Pros / Pluses of Wordpress

• Feature Marketplace
• Easy to create and change
• Logins for changes

Cons / Minuses of Wordpress

• Bloatware
• Security Nightmare
• No content architecture and tracking
• Database abstraction
• Plugin mania, management difficulties or coding customised ones are little tough

Why Amadeus Web

It is

• Simple
• A joy to behold
• Tiny and Blazingly fast.
• Easy for collaboration / syncing across devices and environments.

Pros / Pluses of Amadeus Web

• Collaborators can develop a bunch of content offline or on a fork and submit for review
• Backup is inherent, test offline and publish is easy (no hassle with environments)
• Features can be hand coded. Has an artisan feel.
• Sheets and Presentations are also simple content trackable.
• Plays well with aurelia.io and supabase.com though implementations are still in the works.
• Is driven by convention and has many reference codebases published publically (see bitbucket links at top)

Cons / Minuses of Amadeus Web

• Setup and Learning Curve
• Lack of tons of plugins.
• No login or wysiwyg (an advantage from a security point of view)
• No developer community though its super simple for a good front end / php developer to pick up
