Pods Framework

Has anyone worked with it?

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Pods Framework.

From the website

With WordPress, it’s possible to create Custom Content Types and Custom Fields. Usually this involves writing the PHP that you need. With Pods, you can create all of the Custom Content Types and Custom Fields that you need from within the WordPress Admin Screens. A WordPress website with Pods enabled is much more powerful and flexible than a WordPress website on its own.

You can also use Pods to extend your current content types. Perhaps you want to add some taxonomies to your Pages – WordPress doesn’t have any taxonomies active for Pages by default. Or you could add more Custom Fields to your Posts and output that data with your theme.

Just do a search for pods framework.

The more I research application frameworks the more interesting this becomes. While WordPress has it's limitations and trade-offs, it makes sense to use it as an app development framework for some projects - especially if the apps will feed WordPress sites with data/content.

My developer spent a lot of time on it a few years ago; we were going to put some of my sites into it but it just wasn't there yet. It does sound good though, so I have it marked as a "someday" thing.

Seems to have come along since then. I stopped my research for now. Too much of a learning curve and I am in the middle of some big life changes.
