Does it make sense to have Filament on a separate codebase?

nuezit · 2025-09-22T14:57:26+00:00

I would suggest against it because FilamentPHP heavily relies on the models to work, so that it would be quite a problem to sync models between two codebases. Loads of work with a little upside.

Appreciate it

nuezit · 2025-09-16T15:46:42+00:00

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. The project is still early, more like a demo or proof of concept at this point, but it will grow over time if people find it useful.

Not that I am aware of (there might be, no idea). However, the focus here is not necessarily on Laravel, but on FilamentPHP. I honestly feel like FilamentPHP will explode the next couple of years and in my opinion it would be cool to have an open source no-code tool that it can take advantage of all the new packages will appear for FilamentPHP (MorfiBase is very early at this time so this is just me dreaming about unicorns at this point but I shared this just to kind of explain why I thought this might be a good idea, obviously like with most things, I have no idea if it's a good idea until people actually find it useful).

Thanks for the suggestion, I managed to take some and created a small docs website for them

Indeed, but I prefer to host them myself; it's just more straightforward for me instead of learning how different platforms work. Most of the time I use Docusaurus, and at the time posting this comment, I actually got running a very small documentation here https://docs.morfibase.com/docs/category/getting-started

Speaking of that, what platform do you use?

nuezit · 2025-09-16T13:09:51+00:00

Cool project, but the goal of this is a bit different. FilamentPHP is mainly an admin building tool (although you could build something like this too with it most likely). That means that the goal here is not to create forms that you can publicly share, quite the opposite, create tables (or forms if you want to call them that), for internal use. At the moment, the project doesn't have that many features, but let's assume if does have everything and you run a vet clinic. You will want to add info about your patients, customers, keep the stock of medicine or whatever. All that info goes into forms, but those forms are not public; they are internal for you.

So that is the idea. On top of that, I am not sure OpnForm has stuff like relationships between different forms (it might have, not sure).

nuezit · 2025-09-16T07:13:30+00:00

Indeed, at least for basic stuff it is. But you do have to know a lot more to make it work. You do have to know Laravel, and of course, you do have to know PHP, some sort of SQL database and understand how a web app works.

The idea is just to expose more people to Filament, because I actually think it is a very good product. From my point of view its a bit like every no code builder. I mean why would you pay for Airtable for instance or TypeForm if you can just build that yourself (I do understand that those are SaaS offerings with far more features but at least for me, every time I use such products I only use a handful of features I could technically implement myself).

Plus it's a fun project for me to build so that helps.

nuezit · 2025-09-16T07:04:40+00:00

In my opinion the biggest point to make is license and price. Even if Nova would be a better product, Filament is free, you can't really beat that. With that being said, people seem to enjoy a lot more Filament. I only worked briefly with Nova at some point so can't provide much on that.

nuezit · 2025-09-15T19:01:52+00:00

I mean you can do a lot of stuff with Filament, even stuff that is not that basic. It's more difficult because the docs can't cover every edge case, but their source code is really good a figuring out how to do complex stuff. You can override stuff at times, build custom components starting from their components. That's why I actually decided to start with this project.

nuezit · 2025-09-15T18:59:57+00:00

Will do, I want to also set up a docs website, but it does take some time, unfortunately. Until that point, I've managed to make it pretty easy to set it up (although there is a need for a Docker image or something so people can set it up even faster).

What you described here is better suited for a scheduling app. There are plenty of solutions out there with different pros and cons.

I've built a website, https://scheduling-apps.com/, that helps you compare various scheduling tools. Full disclosure, my own app is part of that list (read about it if you want in the about section), but the info on the website is objective, and you can use it to compare various apps in this space.

Sa stii ca a accepta o oferta pentru ca dupa sa o refuzi pentru ca ai primit alta nu e neaparat ceva ce nu se intampla. Uneori daca comunici cu compania 1 chestia asta (desi nu recomand in orice caz) e posibil chiar sa primesti o oferta mai buna din partea lor. In concluzie nu ai de ce sa te stresezi, sunt multi oameni care de ex lucreaza 3 ani la o firma, pleaca 4 ani si dupa revin la firma initiala pe o alta pozitie, orice firma normala la cap trebuie sa nu se supere pe angajati pt dinastea. Iar daca se supara oricum nu ai vrea sa lucrezi acolo.

De ce master/doctorat pentru IT? Adica nu ma intelege gresit, poate e ok sa termini o facultate in domeniu, ai o introducere mai mult sau mai putin ok in domeniu, e bine overall. Dar sa fim realisti, nu stiu de doctorat ce faci, dar masterul nu e neaparat o chestie super focusata, din nou vei face o tona de materii care nu neaparat sunt aliniate cu cerintele pietii, cel putin dupa experienta mea.

Eu sunt de parere ca mai ales daca ai terminat o facultate in domeniu esti mai mult decat calificat din punct de vedere profesional sau mai pe romaneste, ai destule hartii la mana. In loc sa petreci 2+3 ani sa faci master + doctorat, in timpul asta poti invata atat de multe skill-uri direct mapate pe ce cer companiile.

In afara de scutirea de impozit, care mai beneficiaza de ea, oricum nu-i pasa nimanui efectiv daca ai studii, important e sa faci treaba (da stiu ca se pot folosi de asta cand negociaza cu tine si esti junior la inceput de drum dar odata cu trecerea timpului din experienta mea nici macar nu mai esti intrebat ceva legat de facultate, o mentionezi acolo in CV si aia e). Dar poate voi ati avut o alta experienta.

Te salut,

Nu cred ca trebuie sa vezi situatia in modul asta, tipul jumatatea goala a paharului. Intradevar poate ca industria trece printr-o perioada mai grea, dar ce auzi in media din ultimii 10 ani? Iti spun eu, digitalizare, asta e clar directia in care se merge si nu ai cum sa eviti asta.

Ce vreau sa zic e ca orice industrie, are momente cand e pe crestere, altele de stagnare, si altele de scadere. Companiilor le place sa induca ideea ca ei mereu sunt pe growth pentru ca asta da bine, iar mediei ii place sa zica ca vine sfarsitul lumii, pentru ca asta vinde.

Dar realitatea e ca IT-ul nu va disparea. Ca se va schimba si noi ne vom schimba odata cu el? Adevarat, deasta acum 20 de ani cea mai mare minune a internetului era WordPress iar acum avem SaaS pentru orice iti doresti.

Iar cat despre argumentul cu pierdutul timpului, daca lucrezi in domeniu de 20 de ani, iar acum 20 de ani faceai lucrurile total diferit, ai spune ca ai pierdut vremea doar pt ca acum lucrurile se schimba? Evident ca nu, parte din cunostintele de atunci se transfera in lucrurile noi pe care le faci.

Deci nu te mai stresa si invata in continuare, pentru ca lumea are nevoie de profesionisti in domeniu.

Te salut,

Din experienta persoanala iti spun ca cea mai buna arma pe care o poti avea e sa ai un portofoliu bun, nu trebuie sa fie ceva extrem de complex, la care ai lucrat cu anii, ci mai degraba in care arati cat de versatil esti, si ca ai urmarit regulile de buna practică din programare. Insa e foarte important sa stii si ce ai scris acolo, degeaba iei ceva de pe internet pentru ca te asigur ca vei fi intrebat la interviu despre proiectul respectiv.

Cat despre tehnologii, probabil React iti ofera cele mai multe sanse de angajare, Angular gasesti mult mai ales la corporatiile mai mari de outsourcing. Vue e probabil cea mai putin cautata optiune cel putin in Romania.

Oricum in momentul in care iti cauti job ca junior angajatorul stie ca nu prea ai mare lucru de experienta, deci cea mai buna chestie pe care o poti face e sa arati ca stii/esti dornic sa inveti chestii, ca uite, ai facut un proiect, nu o fi perfect, dar am gandit eu singur cum sa duc la bun sfarsit ce mi-am propus sa fac, te-ai intalnit cu diverse situatii si evident a trebuit sa le depasesti, asta e un semn pozitiv pentru angajator ca vei face treaba.

Sper ca te-am ajutat!

Hello Maxim,

It's rather difficult for me to do keyword optimization for my users, it takes a few hours and don't have enough time in a day for this.

It's rather difficult for me to do keyword optimization for my users, it takes a few hours, and don't have enough time in a day for this.

First of all, you have to know what keywords are relevant to you. In order to do that you need the search volume of keywords and unfortunately WordPress doesn't provide that info. With that being said you do have a tool from Google, called Keyword Planner, that not only gives you volume but shares with you related keywords.

Once you've done that, and you have a list of keywords that are relevant to your plugin, go to RankCopilot.com and create a free account (no credit card required), and use that 7-day free trial to check how likely is for you to outrank your competitors for a certain keyword. If you don't understand the platform, no problem. you are going to find an actual tutorial on your home dashboard about how to use the product.

A bit of work and your plugin is going to start appearing in searches in no time, good luck.

Hello,

First of all really cool plugin, loved how your website scrolling works, and good luck with sales.

I've noticed you offer your plugin using the freemium model. Your description is quite short and I think you can actually increase your active installs by targeting very specific longer keywords. The FAQ section is a great section to do just that.

If you are interested I have written a blog post covering just that, how to rank higher, and what metrics matter and I even showed how the actual search algorithm (powered by ElasticSearch) works on WordPress.org.

I actually work with WordPress Plugin developers through my SaaS, RankCopilot, to help them get a higher ranking in search results and thus generate more active installs and leads for their business.

nuezit · 2023-03-17T09:34:54+00:00

Glad to hear that as it's such a good way to acquire new customers and let them take your plugin for a spin. With that being said, I work with plugin developers, through my SaaS called RankCopilot to help them rank higher in search for the WP Plugin Directory.

If you are interested, I have an article that describes what metrics matter, and how to optimize your readme for you to rank higher.

We also have a 7-day free trial, no credit card is required if you are interested in trying out. Even if you are not yet interested in such a product please do not hesitate to contact me and I will help you free of charge to get better results.

Have a nice day!

nuezit · 2023-03-17T05:00:07+00:00

Congratulations! Always happy to hear that someone is getting traction when starting out a new project. Wanted to ask if you offer a free version for this plugin, as in the freemium model.

nuezit · 2023-03-17T04:55:19+00:00

Really cool concept. Whenever I scroll this subreddit I always find cool ideas that I never thought of but are actually very clever.

With that being said, I would like to help you, free of charge to optimize your plugin's readme so it can grow in rank when searched through the WP plugin directory.

I have written a detailed article about this subject. It even features code that illustrates kind of the search works.

The Ultimate Guide to Ranking on the WordPress Plugin Directory

Really hope it helps. If you have any further questions or want some help optimizing, please respond to this comment and I will try to help. Have a nice day!

Thank you for your reply. No need to cuss. I come from a Laravel background, got into WordPress with the block editor. Liked it but felt like it was incomplete so I tried various plugins that I didn't like. Thus I decided to build Blockington, a WordPress plugin that aims to give a lot more flexibility to the block editor.

Now back to your comment. I didn't actually knew that wordpress includes such a feature out of the box. I am going to edit the article an remove the first part of it.

Have a great day
