Hi everybody, I'm planning to make a little app for pet smart tags. It is a simple service where you can read a QR and it will take you to a page with the pet, nothing too complex, as you can see. I am happy to have just discovered Automad and I would like to try to go ahead, but I have some questions: Which is the best way to manage the users? Login and Registration? It will use a database? Maybe implement a OAuth2 extension? How do you handle the mini-profile page for every user? I'm planning to sell some suscription items (in the future) and I wonder how manage this functionality. Do you have any directions or ideas on this topics?

gvelasquez85 Yeah, the whole point is to be as lightweight as possible and not use a database. The scenario described unfortunately requires a much more complex system.

I think that for your use case Automad is not the CMS you are looking for, unless you're ready, willing and able to provide the groundwork for all the missing functionality yourself.

mad and Everyone yep, you're right... I was thinking today on having Automad as static content server and just develop the application with Slim (or any other framework) and SQLite to be really server-less (kind of). I've explored the possibility to develop an extension to manage a SQLite DB from Automad, but it misses the whole idea, so, I didn't follow my instinct.
I will let you know how it ends, but you guys, are completely right 🙂
