Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Seamlessly leverages Vapor's Fluent for database abstraction and Leaf for templating, making it a natural fit for existing Vapor applications with minimal external dependencies.
Works with any database that has a Fluent driver, such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, providing flexibility in backend choice without locking into a specific technology.
Built-in Markdown support with Leaf tags allows for easy writing and rendering of posts, catering to developers who prefer Markdown for content creation.
Includes slug URLs, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and RSS/Atom feeds out of the box, enhancing blog discoverability and content distribution without extra plugins.
Lacks a native commenting system, relying entirely on Disqus integration, which may not suit projects with privacy concerns or those avoiding third-party services.
Requires creating and maintaining custom Leaf templates for all blog pages, with no default themes provided, increasing initial development overhead.
Setup involves multiple steps like registering providers, middleware, and Leaf tags, which can be error-prone for developers new to Vapor or Swift web development.
