their combined dude factor is strong & knows no bounds!

Absolutely, and as soon as we can confirm things we will. It's good! You'll be happy.

On tenterhooks I am!

My whole life I always thought the expression was tenderhooks.

Thank you, I could have embarrassed myself in front of a lot of people.

I hope to be able to confirm some exciting news about the next steps for Perch, but unfortunately it's not quite there yet. As soon as we're able to tell you about it, we will.

My two cents is that UI updates hold very little value personally. I'd prefer to see that the codebase was being maintained and that a few better options in terms of managing collections in bulk was supported. I would be happy to sell in ongoing…

Can I ask what this is for? Is it connected with future Perch updates or something else?

Yes, please can we have an update. It's more and more difficult to recommend Perch for new projects without clarity on development going forward.

Hello!

I'd love to see examples of the site you've built with Perch or Runway that you're most proud of.

If you had to pick one, which would it be? And was it Perch or Runway? Which add-ons did you use?

Couple of my recent ones:

  • I used the Blog , Gallery (I know!!) and Forms plugins on this one.

Pages were constructed in the Perch editor, using a template that combines Blocks and Repeaters to enable the editor to create page layouts with sections and columns, with a 'Super…

It seems we are stuck. I worry that PHP7.4 compatibility issues will force us away from this CMS and cost a lot of development time to migrate to a CMS that work with newer versions of PHP.

I have over 40 Perch sites that would need to be re-purposed.

Vapid looks interesting. I haven't tried it yet but it seems fairly close to Perch's approach. Also interesting that it's open source with a small group of contributors. That would be a better model for Perch than the current astonishing levels of…
