I have been looking for an up to date website framework like werc (on which cat-v runs) for a personal site, blog, photo gallery, but could not find anything. I am seriously bothered by the amount of bloat that is present in self-hosting projects, qhere the latest and greatest flashy javascript libabry needs to be a baseline feature, and you definitely will need a non-relational database just to be able to host a bloody blog/site. I just want something like werc but in active development...
