Comment to Okay I tried - hard....

  • It just depends on what you are trying to create. Out of the box, with a couple free extensions, you’ve got a pretty easy to set up social blog, personal website, or various other things. I think out of the box, UNA gives you more than WordPress. And it’s just as easy to set up as WordPress IMO. But, if you need custom forms, it does take a little fiddling to get used to how it all works. If all you need to do for example is extend an existing form. Like add a new field to the existing blog post form, that shouldn’t take too long to figure out. But, completely new forms? I haven’t had the need to try that. But, I also just periodically mess around with UNA. I don’t have a business or anything where I must have a certain solution. 

    Anyway, saw this in my notifications and decided to be a UNA fan boy for a minute and comment. 😁

    • It's easy to fall in love with UNA. I think that's what makes it so hard.
      But, please, try get the experience of doing a very simple video db. If you succeed. please help me with it.

      • I remember testing HumHub. Solid competition there. I think most people have something which they would like to have.
        They have a free spaces module, in which you can have a nice free wiki module. This wiki has categories. An address book is easy to make this way. A list of hospitals in the country is an easy task. But HumHub cannot easily be used as a personal blog. UNA can do this. I did one, but even there I found little hurdles, which - well are a thorn in the eye. I found patch solutions on my own and shared it here. Still - it took many working hours to tweak and part of the satisfaction in working with something, is that things can be built fast and easy. That is not the case with UNA. It's a slow slow process.
        My point is that this is not only about my personal needs, but also to be able to compete with the others out there. It's just those little things. Those little hurdles that could boost the whole UNA experience. Make it "the talk of the town".
