Description

Hello all, my first post here.

I've been learning Grav for the past few days, coming from a Drupal background. Liking Grav a lot so far. One thing I'm curious about is whether there is anything equivalent in Grav to Drupal's Views and Blocks?

It seems that Regions might be added to the page template as html section tags. A token of some kind might be used to pull in a Twig code snippet. A routine might be run to cycle through these snippets and display 10 at a time, etc.

I can understand how it might take some time for Grav to evolve, considering how long it took Drupal to reach maturity. I'd certainly be glad to pay for a powerful new module that added some useful features. Got to fund these projects somehow!

Also, why not incorporate an optional single-page database into Grav, one that could be easily copied, stored in xml format etc, if it enabled some cool database features without requiring the dread of managing a big database? I can see Grav becoming VERY popular, with or without these new features.

Thanks!
