Atrium works using Ghost’s native memberships, therefore you will have the option to filter which members can post. For example, I can see a common scenario being that only members who pay can post content.
That’s all Atrium is for now. Hopefully this demo shows what it could become and what possible extensions could be (e.g. comments for a forum as well as new themes).
If there is some initial interest, I’d love to enable some more people to use it!
Every once in a while I stumble across stuff and my first thought is: Why hasn’t anyone done this before? Even it’s kind of a proof of concept, this is huge! (Sorry for cross-posting, but maybe this will help to boost your idea.)
This will be a nice addition for sites that want their community to be able to contribute to longer posts and interact with each other in the comments without using another paid-for integration!
I am using Cove Comments which can generate a JSON export file. If you could import this file (and attach to parent posts) as well as implement other Cove UI/UX features:
Pinning
Liking
Hide comment
Delete comment
Formatting options (CSS framework for code injection first to move into the .hbs file later)
Member management/moderation
Cove offers a free trial – could be worth signing up to get a sense of what’s involved.
One of the reasons this is attractive to me is I am upgrading to Meili Search and this would enable me to index and search on the comments.
This is pretty cool but the feature I’d really want to see is more fine grained controlled on who can post/submit posts. aka. I’d like various ‘areas’ of my website aka tags to be managed by different people who own that area. Think of it as maybe ‘community’, ‘tech’, ‘writing guides’. It would really be nice to have approval go to different people and only allow certain members to be able to submit to certain areas.
