I started using content box for some small clients that needed a content management and some small custom functionality, and it was pretty easy to create a plugin and make the custom management screens.
for example we're wrapping up development on https://smootcemetery.org/ where they wanted a way to have an interactive plot map for their cemetery. (the map part was a bit complex, but the process of creating a CB plugin was pretty straightforward)
Here's a screenshot of the backend screen for managing the plots. It was an interesting little project, and now we have a cool little cemetery mapping plugin we can market to other cemeteries.

09/15/2023, 5:34 PMIn the past for small things like this I have used wordpress, and I think it’s nice to have a good cf based alternative to wordpress. I would be interested in wether there were plans for starting to make a plugin ecosystem similar to what wordpress has, where developers that make plugins could make them available and easy for non programmers to install
