I’ve started working on SquareCMS again recently after having some time off work, the GitHub is being updated a lot more and there’s a working demo here if you want to have a play.

square admin

so will i go back to running on square?

Probably not, simply because I’m so used to running my blog as a git repo now, and I love GitHub flavoured markdown (which I’m probably going to build a plugin for Square anyway).

so why do it?

Because I actually want to, and I actually enjoy writing code again.

so what’s to come? (false promises time)

So at the moment I’m focusing on getting the thing working as it was before (over five years ago), but there is some stuff I want to work on adding:

  • full plugin support (the PDO should help here)
  • shit tonnes better documentation
  • multi-user support (although I’m not too sure on this one)
  • ability to add custom tags without changing a line of code (thinking of how Jekyll handles custom tags in the layout of the _posts markdown files)

when will 2.0 drop it’s alpha tag?

Well, it’ll go beta when I’m ready, and it’ll go final when I’m ready too. So basically don’t hold your breath.
