Comment on Flask powered CMS - Quokka

Comments

Hi!

I am the author of Quokka CMS, Thank you @suhair for posting.

Quokka is a work in progress, it is in early stage of development but already works for the basic which is user authentication/authorization, article posting ans extending with blueprints.

This is not my first CMS project, I am also one of the developers of another CMS made in Django http://github.com/opps, Opps is a big project ready for production and running on large audience websites.

So I started Quokka as an experiment to implement all the CMS features in a non-relational database, that's why I choose Flask and MongoDB.

I think this project will get really serious because I am realizing that MongoDB fits perfectly for dynamic CMS.

I am really open for suggestions and contributions.

Quokka - The happiest animal in the world and maybe the happiest CMS in the internets. :)

i understand you wanted to experiment with mongodb, but why moving away from django ? there isn't such a big conceptual difference between the two, except flask has less things. What part of the django stack did you want to build differently ?

I like Django, I work with Django a lot and currently I am developing another product with Django.

The only problem is that Django do not play very well with Non-relational databases, and Django has too many things for a small project.
