Looking at this. Love the security first perspective. My first negative thought is dump the engineering terminology. I think that will help in getting people to adopt this.

  Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely take that into consideration when writing future pieces about it.

License.txt contains a GPL license, while composer.json says MIT. Worth of notice, one of the keywords in composer.json is "self-updating".

  Oops. Copy-paste mistake. Thanks for letting me know. The way self-updating works is: I use one of the bundled tools to create and distribute an update pack. Each site (once per hour, in the default config) will ping for any updates and, after verifying the Ed25519 signature with our public key, apply them.

Please, get a clue from WordPress' success - it's terrible from a technological point of view, but it has a beautiful UI and decent UX. With your looks, you won't have much success - I guarantee you. Look at Pagekit [0], Ghost [1], and the likes! [0]: https://pagekit.com/ https://pagekit.com/ [1]: https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/

  I appreciate the feedback, but we're holding off on making it look prettier until we've finished with the technical heavy lifting. (Front-end design is not my strong suit.)

    You're sending the wrong message since day 1. It's 2016, making things pretty is by default - there is a bunch of free icons, a bunch of default themes that make a site look decently without any effort. By not using those you also look like yet another wheel reinventor. It's an honest feedback, I wish you luck, not before you want to make people invest time in your technical merits, you need not to push them away with the looks.
