Guidelines for v1:

The proof of concept (v0) revealed few limitations of a naive category/subcategory/item limit, as well as improvment for futur releases:

• Need to support semantic informations of category/subcategory (especially for authors, type of text)
• Need to support deeper templating of the website + customization
• Tools for easy plugin developpement
• webhooks (in and out) on update

The proposed solutions are for now to split backend and front end, and give more freedom to the user on the front-end side.

• backend sails.js for the API side
• react + redux frontend, associated with RxJS for communication between front and back-end
• make sure react classes are easily overwritable to support custom element.

Focus for the next version are :

• Improving the admin interface (rich text editor etc)

v0.1.3 include:

• Add version table
• null filter in the API responses
• add item even if there is no subCat
• Javascript correction
• HTML insertion made possible

v0.1.2 include:

• Insertion / edition of new cat/subcat/item
• Complete installation script

v0.1.1 include:

• Archive browsing
• SQLite database reader (all INSERT is made by the install.php) with category/subcategory/item working
• Strange taste in UI design
