Flat Camp 🏕️
Last week we hosted Flat Camp, our first ever Statamic non-conference, up in the mountains of North Carolina. It was magical, exceeding our wildest dreams. It was an incredible experience spending a few days eating, drinking, relaxing and hiking with the community.
We'd like to thank everyone who traveled from all around the world (from 10 countries!) for putting your trust in us and the idea to replace the formal lecture setting with more opportunities for conversation and relationship building. It worked, and it was life-changing in delightful and unexpected ways. 💜
We're working on compiling photos, videos, and stories from the event and we'll be sharing them soon. Oh, and next year we're doing it in Europe.
Statamic 4
Earlier this month we unleashed Statamic 4, a new major version of Statamic.
This release features lots of UI and UX improvements throughout the Control Panel, the modernization of our entire code base, and lots more.
Read all about it in our announcement blog post or watch the video highlighting new features and improvements.
Spin Up Statamic
Andrew Welch, well-known developer and content creator in the Craft CMS world unveiled a new tool at Flat Camp, Spin Up Statamic. It leverages Github Codespaces to spin up a Statamic site in the cloud, in your browser, in seconds.
There are some compelling use-cases for it:
- Personalized and completely editable Statamic demo sites
- Shipping a self-contained Statamic site to others
- Providing working example code & projects to others
- Spinning up a local Statamic project using someone else's composer.json for support
This is an awesome new tool for the Statamic community, and we're working to integrate it more closely with our documentation, starter kits, and marketplace.
