What's going on? I was away for a long time. Will Oxwall no longer be developed?

They've long since changed the advertising in:

https://www.oxwall.com/order

and with these prices and this product presentation as there are no new users.

You can download it for free from here:

https://developers.oxwall.com/download

but since this link is nowhere to be seen, no one can find it.

Also, they stopped publishing updates and you have to download and install them manually from:

https://github.com/oxwall/oxwall/tree/master

But despite all these inconveniences around here we are many OxWall fans.

We haven't found a better script.

There have been several attempts to make parallel versions, but they have been unsuccessful.

Don't think that other scripts are much better, even if by the publicity they seem very interesting each one comes with its problems.

In the OxWall store you have many new and interesting plugins, so don't be discouraged if you decide to install it.

I love oxwall, but like everything else, oxwall prioritizes money

This is a real user of my website


Your time is also your money.

Even if all the software, domain name, server and SSL certificate were free, you also have to invest your time in installing, decorating, configuring, attracting members, answering member queries, studying the legal aspect and many other things. It will take you several hours a day, how much is that worth?

Setting up a website is an investment and before investing you have to make sure that it will be useful, or profitable.

The core of OxWall is free and so are the main plugins, but the advertising is misleading. You can pay and get almost everything done... Or pay with your time and set it up anyway.

OxWall is a good script, powerful and flexible, but it doesn't install with two clicks.
