I recently faced my second hard rejection for a Laravel project on Codecanyon. The first rejection was for a SaaS online employee reference checking system, and it was built with Filament PHP.
Just yesterday, I submitted another project, CircleManager, which you can check out here: CircleManager.
To be honest, I only decided to start selling CircleManager after receiving the rejection email. My initial plan was to offer it exclusively on Codecanyon since I had signed up as an exclusive author.
Here’s the demo link: CircleManager Demo
The rejection email stated that my submission didn’t meet the quality standards required to move forward. I’ve thoroughly reviewed the Envato quality requirements, available here: Envato Quality Requirements.
From my assessment, I believe my item meets all the necessary criteria. However, the rejection seemed to hinge on the claim that the item does not meet the “easy to customize” standard.
One thing I’ve noticed is that any project based on Filament PHP, especially those with dashboard functionalities, often faces hard rejection on Codecanyon. This has led me to question whether Filament PHP projects are perceived as not being easily customizable by the reviewers.
Filament PHP is a Laravel Livewire package designed for building beautiful and complex dashboards with relative ease. I’m left wondering—are Envato reviewers keeping pace with trending technologies? Or is there a bias against newer technologies and packages, leading to automatic rejections?
I’d love to hear thoughts from the community, particularly regarding the rejection patterns for projects based on new platforms and technologies like Filament PHP. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
