A love letter to all that once was good about the web and could be again. No algorithms, no monthly subscription, no cut of your sales. Your blog, site, store, podcast, digital garden…

• The CMS you don’t have to fight with (unless you want to.)
• Spin up a site in a day or two, not weeks or months.
• It’s just files and folders and from these humble beginnings… a website.
• RoeAnji (clean Markdown extensions). No confusing (and ugly) templating language here.
• Simple one-time license, no subscription, no cut of your sales (well, we don’t take a cut anyway)
• Local first. If anything happens to your host or public site, you have a full working site locally ready to deploy.
• File over app - always bet on text
• Built for humans that make things.
