Statamic 3.4 ๐Ÿš€

Statamic 3.4 is here with some pretty big improvements to Bard, Control Panel customization and configuration, multi-lingual sites, and search.

Probably the biggest feature highlight is that you can now rearrange and customize the side nav all you want. You can add your own links, remove links and sections, and have different navs for different User Roles or Users.

The Water Cooler

As we're wrapping up for Christmas, just checked and over the last 4 years I've built ~50 (!!!) websites on @statamic. And it's still a joy (...when it's not really boring b/c they've made it way too easy to build stuff). Thank you to the whole crew โค๏ธ

Statamic CMS. Started yesterday, and I hope to be finished today ๐Ÿ˜. Not because I'm so bright, but simply because @statamic has almost no learning curve if you know #laravel.

Spent the last two days playing around with Laravel Statamic as an alternative to Wordpress. Am a huuuuge fan. If you already know the Laravel framework, it's piece of cake developing new features. Ideas for content around it is in development.

God, do I love working with @statamic. It feels like implementing anything only takes a fraction of the time compared to other content management systems...

Instead of finishing this WordPress project I was bingewatching the Statamic introduction by @jackmcdade on Laracast...

Working on @statamic *and* @JigsawByTighten projects this week, both are incredible to use. The @laravelphp ecosystem never ceases to amaze me ๐Ÿ˜„

Love you too @statamic ๐Ÿค—

Agreed. I've built 3 Statamic-based websites in the past 6 months and can't wait to build the next one. โค๏ธ

Just watched some of the Laracasts on Statamic. Super cool and powerful, great work @jackmcdade! Definitely feels like a developers CMS with partials, vue/blade like syntax, and YAML file configs. Nice to see it all tracked via git too ๐Ÿ‘Œ @statamic

Hands down @statamic for its combination of great DX and a wonderful editing experience. And because you don't constantly battle the CMS but just do the work

Not just great DX. It also has one of - if not the best - UX for content writers. And Iโ€™m not saying that as a developer; I used to be a journalist and have had to use a lot of bad CMSs from a user perspective.
