If you are regularly switching between OS'es/Publii clients, how do you keep them all locally synced? Dropbox or the like? Or use git and git pull to get locally synced before doing any composing?

Neither the README, nor the documentation and several other places on GitHub (the tags, the short repo description) mentions how to use this on Linux. I am happy that this project (which is new to me) works on Linux now, but I would suggest updating information more diligently before trying to attract interest from the crowd. First impressions matter, after all.

This is incredibly slick! There are lot of static blog generators that just use text files, but this has a great gui with a WYSIWYG editor and everything. It really looks fantastic. It took like one minute from downloading the AppImage version to create a simple test blog with one post, so it's probably the easiest to use blog software I've ever seen, too. Edit: I think this post has sort of gotten overlooked because the link is just an announcement about linux support, unfortunately, but I know there are lots of people who will want a static CMS with a decent gui, so hopefully it will continue to get more attention.

This is actually really nice. A couple of questions though: 1. Are there more built-in templates, and how do you add them? 2. What's the easiest way to zip up a site and transfer it elsewhere? Good work btw, i'm going to donate to this.

Does this .rpm work on Centos/RHEL/Fedora or does it also work on OpenSUSE/SUSE?
