I think this may be a big leap for Code Igniter developers and a bit of take on Expression Engine and PyroCMS. Weebsy is going to be open source. I have never been working in Open Source before, so maybe it is the right time to start.

Weebsy is amazing little CMS with a unique approach to content. It seeks to keep all the complex and confusing stuff behind the scenes and enables users to focus on what is important for them - the content.

But what is there for web developers? Simple OOP content model and RESTfull architecture. It may really help you to deliver web site in a few hours. Unique content model will enable you to create custom interactive content items which can be placed wherever you want onto the page. To create new content models you don’t need PHP programming. It is so simple that HTML is enough. RESTfull approach gives unique URL to each item. Everything is a page and object with a CRUD capabilities at the same time. Huge leap in the productivity and versatility.

I will create simple dedicated website for the project and publish all the source code via GitHub. For the future I hope to find few dedicated contributors and fellow developers. I would like to see my role on the project as a lead rather than developer. There is still many things to improve.

I would like to see this little CMS to be used alongside PyroCMS and Expression Engine. I am sure Weebsy offers something that those two do not. More importantly it does the same thing different way.

Try demo of Weebsy. Contact me if you would like to contribute to the project.

I bought Richard Bransons’s Business Stripped Bare book recently and want to share with you few remarkable opinions. First one which I like is about business:

“At its heart, business is not about formality, or winning or ‘the bottom line’, or profit, or trade, or commerce, or any of the things the business books tell you it’s about. Business is what concerns us. If you care about something enough to do something about it, you’re in business…“.

Many people do amazing things without pursuing profits - charities, community workers, environment leaders etc… I think at it’s heart, it is all about people and people should be the main concern. If you are helping somebody and doing good, money will follow. The second opinion is about collaboration, quoting Albert Einstein who said:

“What a person does on his own, without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of others, is even in the best casees rather paltry and monotonous”.

Richard Branson devotes whole chapter to People and the need of people to talk to each other in order to generate ideas. Can not agree more.

More will follow, I didn’t finish yet
