To me and this is my opinion only, I have followed web2py for as long as I can remember. The difference between web2py and flask or even web2py and ruby (just to name another framework/language) is that web2py examples are outdated and very limited. I am able to find more updated tutorials on flask or ruby than what I am able to find for web2py. Even Pyramid goes deeper. Digging into this group is a chore and a very frustrating one. So if you ask me, where do you go from here if the code is solid and quite complex, Documentation period. Give me examples that can be used in todays world, that look nice and feel nice. So that means examples that include all the bell and whistles that make an application look and feel nice. Provide a good solid tutorial/example on SaaS from the ground up and you got my fair share. I dont mind paying for documentation/tutorials/udemy whatever but give the users a full scope within one place and to be honest, we are talking about a tutorial that is complementary to the manual that it is in place. Is not like destroying the manual that it is in place. Just an addition. Charge for it, I'll buy it just like I did the first few versions of the documentation. I really like web2py but every time I comeback to build something, I have to look for hours on how to do that one thing.
just my 2 cents. cheers On Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 10:18:14 PM UTC-7, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > I second what Anthony said.
