Nice. I can see it being useful and it is great that you managed to open-source it. Is it something you've been using internally or something like that? On the other hand, as far as I looked through the demo (not much) it is just a CRUD app themed for real estate. That's not a criticism or a bad thing about your app, but it is a bad thing about our industry: how come people still have to write the same thing over and over again just to change the theme, colours and data model?

In a "generic" system you will almost by definition lose some useful stuff. The system will end up feeling a bit clunky. People who have worked on Wordpress and Drupal to stretch them into content management systems for various industries know this. So in that sense there's some value in having a system that is dedicated to a specific purpose. Having said that that's not an excuse to not improve generic content management systems and solutions.

Yes I use it for my personal needs. Currently, this app stick to my requirements but the objective is to make it more generic/extendable than today. Though, I started to break down the project in two parts: - the font-end logic which will stay in this current repository - and the rest API which will be in this repository: https://github.com/camelaissani/RealEstateAPI https://github.com/camelaissani/RealEstateAPI Therefore, it will be easier to use and customize it. Well at least at the beginning. I also made some changes in the code to customize the business logic. You can glance at it here: https://github.com/camelaissani/loca/tree/master/backend/businesslogic https://github.com/camelaissani/loca/tree/master/backend/bus... I've been writing the french rental business logic, but I hope I will have support from people to add business logic of others countries. Thanks for your feedback
