If you have ever worked on a drupal website, this will look very similar. This would allow some to create a custom content type, and then be able to create a set of custom fields around that content type. From there you could then use the twig interface to create a nice custom layout. You can kinda achieve this with the blog plugin using categories, but its hacky and you cant create custom fields.

Example:

Portfolio Item

• Portfolio Image
• Portfolio Type (Web/Logo/Print/...)
• Portfolio short desc
• Portfolio long desc
• ...

Videos

• Video Title
• Video URL/Upload
• Video Description
• ...

If this is already possible, I would love to see how!

Do you want to extend blog plugin with custom fields? If so you can check this plugin

David, did you ever come across a solution for this? I'd love to use October for a project but I'm having the same issue you are.

We come from Drupal too, and we found that the builder plugin already do that in a partial way.

It's more like you create an entire new module, but it's soo easy to do that finally, it's a little like new content type creator of Drupal.
