At Blesta we want to be developer friendly. We put strong emphasis on open code, clear comments, logical file structure, and a powerful API to try to give developers as much power, flexibility, and clarity as possible. However, I've noticed in recent times that the learning curve can be a bit steep for developers getting started with Blesta. In addition we've seen comments saying that development can take a significant amount of time and people may get burned out or give up. That being said, we'd love to hear from the Blesta developer community or those interested in joining us. What we be the most useful ways to help you get started and continue developing on the Blesta platform? These are some of the things I was considering: More clear API docs for input More clear API docs for return values Generic code templates on github for Plugins, Modules, and the various Gateway types More events for Plugin's to tie into Video tutorials (Topic Suggestions?) Some sort of large FAQ A utility/wizard for generating a stubbed out extension (Complete) Let us know if you support any of these measures or have ideas of your own on how we can help. If you don't have a solution, but have a problem that bothers you or slows you down in development, leave a comment (a nice one :P) and perhaps someone else will have a good suggestion for how we can resolve it. We are grateful to all those who support us and have shown interest in the product. It truly warms my heart to see all of those who help each other out both here on the forums and in the discord server.
