Just one guys opinion...

I think a CMS is pretty boring unless it fits into your personal story/narrative.

__WHY__ did you create this CMS? What was lacking in the current offering and prompted you to tackle this problem? Perhaps it is industry/vertical/niche specific? Have you been charging for it? Without that part your are just another guy with another half-baked CMS.

Rather, it is much more interesting to see people go deep on their own interests, pursuits and passions, which (sometimes) lead to something with a broader appeal. Even if they don't, it still much more interesting.

-- Rumor has it that Elasticsearch started when the guy wanted to make a recipe database for his girlfriend....

My latest side projects involve stitching together various DockerFiles and docker-compose.yml files to create super simple services like favicon grabbers, website-screenshot-as-a-service, and web-crawlers.

Anyway, that is my two cents.

Good luck
