Many of my non dev friends use WordPress for their sites/stores/payments etc. They can launch and customize based on their needs. That is what WordPress has pioneered, the web for masses. You can quickly get going on a number of hosting companies right of the bat which makes WP about 40-50 % of all the sites on the internet. I do not think that is going to change overnight. WordPress continues to evolve and getting better. My thought would be that the drama can be distracting but WP is here to stay. Having said that I am looking forward to implementing a blog with nextjs with this tutorial 👍🏽
great perspective and generally agree to an extent! i think it's showing some of it's cracks and while i think WordPress isn't going anywhere, i do think that more prominent solutions will emerge from the turmoil as others see opportunity to build newer, better solutions you're right in that Directus specifically might not be as "out-of-the-box" as WordPress is alone, but there are a lot of great options that have straightforward integrations that while requires a little up front effort, could end up providing greater flexibility fwiw i recently also put out a course that walks through piecing together a lot of the non-content parts of the picture in a full stack Next.js app that could work together with this tutorial, such as adding payments later in the course with Stripe Checkout (easier than you might think!) ruclips.net/video/Mcw8Mp8PYUE/видео.html
I also realized you just said "non dev" which is definitely one of the compelling parts about WordPress! though there are a lot of more mainstream site builders out there now that are getting better and better
@@khandakershahi user "friendlier" - WordPress has the cost going for it and the benefit of an ecosystem of developers who want to set it up for clients, but other site builder solutions are certainly better, but also $$. thats why i believe something else will emerge that covers that user gap, also i find Directus to be pretty user friendly myself, it just doesnt have the market that WP currently has
Great tutorial Colby! Your explanation was super clear. I really appreciated how you broke down everything, especially the permissions part. Thanks for consistently putting out such helpful content…….it's making a real difference in my coding journey!❤❤
heard good things about Sanity! though when I've tried to use it in the past, I didn't like how it appears that you're required to set up the CMS and define all of the data schemas as code, I like working in the UI, but maybe I misunderstand how it works? Haven't tried Payload before. good ideas though, can still explore them more!
Curious, are you done with WordPress moving forward, or will you still be making some WP content? Or does it all depend on how the next couple of weeks/months play out? Thanks for the video!
i haven't made the final decision but i've been wanting to completely move off of WP for a while, lots of frustrations with the platform aside from all of this going on and want more flexibility out of the platform. Directus is certainly on my mind in this regard as i've enjoyed building with it i can't say for sure if ill never do WordPress content again but i have no interest in supporting the ecosystem with its current state of leadership and the damaging they're doing to the community
@@colbyfayock yes sir. And the link you mentioned is an amazing project for addon. It's just a project not a course or tutorial in which you are teaching everything one by one each topic. I asked for course because your teaching style is so amazing. 👏🙌
@@rationalindianguy got it, thanks for the kind words. i typically treat courses as working through projects, if youve seen any of my work here: egghead.io/q/resources-by-colby-fayock i think walking through practical application is a really helpful way of learning concepts, so really this course appears as if it's 1 long video, but i developed it like i did any of those other courses, but recorded it as 1 for youtube d.pr/i/7E7IoV
I know your a NextJS fanboy but really thats your advice? Move from monolithic MVC Wordpress to NextJS? There is no decent ecommerce options in the React space and especially not in the NextJS space!!! Nothing with endless shipping and payment plugins. No sweet theme editors, nothing. Im more likely to recommend Laravel or Headless Wordpress than go full balls to NextJS. Heck Svelte or Astro is better. NextJS had me rolling on the floor in laughter.
@@colbyfayockI actually like Nextjs I even built a full custom CMS. Issue was NextAuth was not very friendly with some tools. I hate Wordpress so much I tried to build my own CMS. I tried every CMS app in Jamstack and most are costly. I’m

fwiw i recently also put out a course that walks through piecing together a lot of the non-content parts of the picture in a full stack Next.js app that could work together with this tutorial, such as adding payments later in the course with Stripe Checkout (easier than you might think!) ruclips.net/video/Mcw8Mp8PYUE/видео.html
Real talk

Yes developer friendly vs user friendly. WordPress is user friendly.

Hi Colby you could look at Payload or sanity, it would be very interesting to see a video about those two.
Thanks 🇨🇴
