Push­ing the Lim­its of Craft CMS’s Matrix Field

Craft CMS's Matrix field gave users power they never before had. The user rejoiced but they were not satisfied. They pushed the limits of that power, found new ways they wished to harness it, and submitted feature requests. In this hangout, we're taking a trip to Australia to join Benjamin Fleming and Josh Crawford – authors of two Craft field plugins (Neo and Super Table, respectively) that explore new boundaries for Matrix-style fields. We'll discuss the limits of the Matrix, what new problems fields like Neo and Super Table aim to solve, and look at examples of how folks are using these fieldtypes to manage advanced content in Craft.
