I stopped working on the Osm Admin project, for financial reasons. Did it hurt? A lot. Was it necessary? Unfortunately, yes. This post is a short retrospection on this matter.

I waited for this day too long. Today, I've tried out GitPod, and made it work for a project based on Osm Admin.

Today, I reiterated on what's left in this iteration, and finished the side menu view, and created a trivial home page for the admin area.

After getting the main branch all-green (tests pass, CLI and UI works as expected), I decided that from now on, I'll keep it always green, and use feature branches for all major development.

Then, I started implementing the main menu of the admin area.

Yesterday, I created a template for new projects powered by Osm Admin.

This way, you can create and publish a project in minutes, just follow the README. Yay!

My current goal is to get some minimum Osm Admin user interface and API working - just for one property, one data type, one UI control type, and then improve.

And there is a lot of space for improvement. The main areas are listed in this document.

I'd really appreciate a helping hand, so if you are into this sort of things, DM me on Twitter.

I feel that both attributes decorating data classes, and object model parsed from it are too complex.

Let's have a fresh look at Osm Admin. If I had to start from scratch, how would it be?

Install PHP 8, MySql, Node, Gulp and ElasticSearch. Clone the project. Edit project settings. Finally, run few commands in the command line.

This article describes how we use GitHub issues and projects, both for new development and for support.

Install and use osm, osmc, osmt and osmh command line aliases for faster command typing.

Note. This post is moved to Osm Framework documentation.

Once PHP 8, Node and Gulp are installed, create new projects quickly using the command line.
