  As a Symfony dev/architect who builds a lot for startups, I've been meaning to check it out. I'll be honest, I don't quite understand the value proposition so it's always #2 on my todo list.

    > I'll be honest, I don't quite understand the value proposition so it's always #2 on my todo list Yea, I need to sort that out. It should be a lot clearer. I would say the the benefits are the same as other bootstraps and templates as well as open source libraries. It provides you functionality so you don't need to code it yourself. My main thing with open source is that bug fixes are very much optional, even if you provide the fix. They're also not designed for scale. I really want to be able to provide top level support. Then you have the fact that you need to use multiple libraries that sometimes don't really play well nice with each other. Everything integrates with each other. Open source libraries and others aren't actually designed for scale or the company growing and needing to replace parts. That is one area I tried to put effort into making sure you can replace things and use your own. For example, it comes with A/B testing, you can literally switch between mines and optimizely. The admin section (Athena) for example can work with Doctrine ORM or MongoDB and uses the repository interface to allow any database system to be used. While still being heavily inspired by Sonata. Then there are things like file uploads which I've added the glue between Symfony and Flysystem. Emails we support quite a few email service providers which can be changed via config. Unlike the symfony mailer which you can also use the integrations with the service providers allows you to use the templates with Sendgird, etc. And obivously I'm planning on extending it further. If you want a discount code email me at iain@humblyarrogant.io and I'll hook you up with a discount.

      Great! I'm really happy it's out there, because it seems Laravel sucks all the air out of this bit of the market, when I much prefer Symfony. I'd be happy to chat about it in more detail if you want to ping me. Contact details are on my profile page.
