    Hey guys, so I’m new to the wordpress development world and recently I built something to manage files here in my workspace.

    Here at work we have cases and each case can have a lot of documents (pdf). The new files are being created on a weekly basis and we need to share it in a website for the public.

    So I did this: I’m using the WP-API2 to create posts, and I can then select a post and upload documents to it (I created a page with a form to do that). I’m also using the DataTables plugin to list all the “posts” because each case has some metadata that also needs to be shown, so I store this metadata in a JSON.

    Ok, given that, my question is: what should I do to share this project with others? Should I build a plugin? A template?

    Also I would be happy to hear some feedback about it, I searched for something to feel this need but didn’t find anything, so I built my own solution. Is there a better way for me to address this need (manage documents like I’m doing)?

    Thank you!

    Not here. 😉

    If you want feedback then please consider submitting your plugin to the WordPress repo.

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_Submission_and_Promotion

    These are support forums and are not for getting feedback on your possible plugin. There are other places for that feedback questions but please take that outside of these forums.

    Thanks Jan!

    But my question was more like: is it suitable for a plugin?
    I thought it would be too hacky or something to be one haha

    Thank you then, I’ll do that! 😀
