I run a hackspace and we use MemberMatters as our membership platform. This also provides an OAuth2 server which I use to control access to other platforms such as Moodle.

I've been using GoHugo as our CMS up until now, however I'm getting more and more requests for "non-technical" people (i.e. don't know Git and it's unreasonable to ask them to learn it for various reasons) to be able to add to the website/manage it, and I'd also like to move to something that's database-backed so I can query the content directly rather than having to try and scrape templated markdown.

Usually I'd reach for Wordpress here, but IMHO it's heavy, clunky, and a pain to create a custom template for unless you know PHP, and unless you pay for the MiniOrange plugin you can only set it up as an OAuth2 Server (which we already have).

I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't find anything that fits this criteria - things like ContentJet are API-Driven which is awesome until you realise that means you need to write/host your own frontend as well as the backend, but I can't believe I'm the only one who's looking for this?

Is there anything out there that will enable me to let people auth against our membership system, update the content of the website, and that is database-backed?

Having installed Bar Assistant recently to manage my cocktail cabinet, and mealie to plan the food for the week, I figured it would be a bit of fun to be able to offer a "menu" for my garden kitchen when I'm grilling/making pizzas.

This is just for when family/friends are over, so I don't need online payments or anything complicated like tasteigniter provides, but I would like the following features:

1. The ability to list a "stock menu"
2. The option to customise orders
3. Integration with a ticket printer

For example, there are five people in my household. Tonight I'm doing smash burgers.

I want to be able to offer a plain burger or cheese burger, but have them add/remove bacon, salad, sauce etc.

Tomorrow I'm doing pizza in the ooni. I want to be able to offer some "standard options", but again allow people to add/remove toppings etc.

Does anything like this exist, or is this dangerously close to another project I don't have time to write or maintain but do it anyway? 😅
