Ability to create Page

Hi @msamgan - While Canvas does the heavy-lifting of blogs & publications in the backend, it's de-coupled from how you choose to display things on the frontend. I don't disagree that most developers would find use with the pages you mentioned. Canvas does provide a basic frontend interface with the canvas:ui Artisan command, so any changes you'd like to see should likely go there. I'd be more than happy to take a look at a pull request if you create one.

Hi Austin,

I am working on the PR for this feature.
can you please tell me what your preference is?

Approach one:
Adding a new table "canvas_pages"

Pros:

• everything is separated, there will be no conflict between posts and pages for future updates

Cons

• duplication in code for posts and pages
• complexity if the same code is used for both.

Approach two:
Adding a new column "type" enum ("post", "page") with default "post" in the canvas_posts table (WordPress approach).

Pros:

• fast to implement
• not much change in creation and edit

Cons

• future updates for posts will be complicated.
• all posts APIs will be needing an update

please let me know, what is your verdict on this.
