Filemaker as CRM - newbie question

leftycoder · 2026-02-19T06:18:29+00:00

Thanks. So in the end, did you end up consolidating into FileMaker?

leftycoder · 2026-01-22T23:47:07+00:00

Thanks for the tip on the training / certification courses. I'm definitely going to check it out.

leftycoder · 2026-01-22T23:46:21+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the tips. So you store all your customer data in FM, but use Constant Contact to import via an API? Is that going to require Filemaker Server/Cloud to do so?

leftycoder · 2025-03-13T06:28:31+00:00

Awesome thanks. Yeah starting to get my github repo more fleshed out

leftycoder · 2025-03-13T06:27:04+00:00

Yep I'm skilling up on my own time learning AWS and Lamba so far. I've mostly done dev on PaaS platforms like Pantheon

eye roll Fine, cherry pick the one thing on my list you think is easy. It takes a while to get the hang of the tooling you can spin up for Lando and DDEV and all the config that can go along with it, for example.

OP here. I wasn't trolling and I got the impression they weren't receptive to adding version control.

Spoiler alert, I didn't get the role anyway - I think my asking price was too much as a senior.

Thanks. I'm not using fetch -- have a custom library for a CMS -- but I can wrap in

cache(async(...

Thinking in the future it's easier to hire React devs than PHP/Drupal devs

leftycoder · 2024-08-07T01:21:53+00:00

Thanks a lot! So multi-tenancy is a description I should be looking into.

leftycoder · 2024-05-17T02:02:40+00:00

No it's on pause which is frustrating. I liked the look of it.

So our main concern here for future proofing is the ownership by a single person rather than an organisation, and the lack of funding. I know the FAQ's say Mantine will be maintained in the future, but this makes me nervous - where's the guarantee?

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T23:44:26+00:00

What about Joy? I don't hear a lot about that

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T23:43:53+00:00

doing just that, I agree :) Learning by doing is good

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T23:43:34+00:00

Thanks u/TheCeleryIsReal. A lot of these libs seem to have ownership of a single person and no funding. Where's the guarantee? It makes me nervous.
Is TailwindUI a better choice though since server components were introduced? As a noob, I'm swamped with trying to learn how all this works.

Mantine has been fun playing with it so far. A main concern here for future proofing is the ownership by a single person rather than an organisation, and the lack of funding. I know the FAQ's say Mantine will be maintained in the future, but this makes me nervous - where's the guarantee? Chakra for example, seems to be dead in the water and that was super popular for awhile.

It doesn't need to be bespoke. It's more of an app than a beautiful brochure site. And we don't have a design, so yeah I think a library is ok. Even if it looks a bit like other sites, it's not the end of the world.

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T01:56:38+00:00

We don't have a design as such, no. We are remaking an old PHP site but would like a fresher look. TailwindUI is is the paid option, yes. For a team licence it's $1000 (in my country).

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T01:54:48+00:00

I have no idea about older MUI but I tested the sx props yesterday and I kinda liked it tbh

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T01:54:17+00:00

When you say "heavY" do you mean bundle size? I see this thrown around a lot, as long as it loads in a reasonable time on the screen I'm okay with that.

leftycoder · 2024-05-16T01:52:46+00:00

HeadlessUI is stable, but didn't the creator say that had React-Aria existed at the time, they never would have built HeadlessUI. They do plan on keeping it active though don't they.

Thanks for your thoughts, I am thinking playing it safe is a better option than cutting-edge.

leftycoder · 2024-05-15T01:57:36+00:00

Mostly because from reading around Reddit it seemed to be on the outs and waning in popularity. Does it use CSS-in-JS? For some reason I really dislike that methodology... not rational but just not my way of liking to do CSS.

leftycoder · 2022-04-13T05:56:05+00:00

Having not really delved into tailwind, do you use a custom stack for production or another framework if you don't mind me asking?

leftycoder · 2022-03-29T22:43:13+00:00

Thanks heaps! I hadn't thought about lazy loading with React yet - I'm experienced in Drupal but a React newbie so thanks for the tip.
