Now that ProcessWire 2.5 is out (as well as WordPress 4.0), it's a great time to get going with this project. It was a busy summer and I finally have a little time to breathe. I mainly reserve PW for general CMS type sites or sites that wouldn't become true web apps. However, I'm glad I originally built it in PW because it served as a great way to learn about a bunch of features I wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to. Being forced into an MVC way of doing things would make sense for a pet-project like this. Given that this is a true webapp, building it with ProcessWire isn't the best fit, compared to a comprehensive webapp framework like Rails, Laravel, or some of the new NodeJS based frameworks out there (Meteor, MEAN, etc.) although it does get the job done. (note: Diigo now lets you edit previously bookmarked URLs, which was a major complaint I had about it). My bookmarking system is a good clone of Diigo along with features that suit the way I organize things. Regardless, PW has a proper caching module called MarkupCache which is the correct way to do the sort of caching I had in the video: Also, caching is not needed as much anymore since I made a lot of optimizations to the code and eliminated a lot of issues that were causing lag. That video is quite old now and much has changed with my system since then, especially the caching technique. Would love to hear learn more about the project as well.
Does that mean you are using PW built in tag cashing or you created something different. In your bookmarking demo you mentioned you cashing your rendered HTML in a custom field. I'd like to hear your feedback and any suggestions to make this a great site! It does not yet have voice narration, but it will give you an idea of the quality I'm shooting for. Here's a video I recorded and edited today.

Videos will be shot in 720p with my Patrick Bateman-like radio voice narration (will need to work extra hard to get that part right).

I have a super clean virtual machine with Windows 8 and minimal software (Chrome, Sublime Text, XYplorer) specifically configured for these videos. Over the last few days, I've been perfecting my screencasting technique for this project. What's the best way to make a login form? What's the best way to organize content? And so on.
I also anticipate creating videos related to some of the topics here on the forum. Showcasing all kinds of plugins in WordPress and their ProcessWire equivalents (like Gravity Forms vs.

I will demonstrate how to do things in ProcessWire that developers are accustomed to in WordPress. My first goal is to start with a series of videos that goes head to head with WordPress. I envision it as a website containing short, 5-10 minute videos discussing various topics with ProcessWire, much like is to Ruby on Rails. With that being said, I wanted to announce a project that I will be pursing. Perhaps we can have 10,000 a year from now. The forum recently past the 2000th signup, which is about double the number last year. I believe we can speed up the adoption rate and open people's eyes faster. Well, I'd assume a good portion of those are just blogs that no one reads or have been abandoned, but I could be wrong. Perhaps it can even take a few percentage of marketshare away from WordPress, which powers 20%+ of all websites on the internet (insane, right?). I believe over the next few years it will continue increasing in popularity as more people catch word of it.
