It's not clear what this "Small Web" gives users instead of simply running a WordPress installation on a VPS or a shared hosting plan. In fact, the "Small Web" command line installation instructions on the accompanying site.js website are considerably more complicated that the easy one-click installation process widely available for WordPress. This suggests the "Small Web" will appeal only to technically savvy users rather than appeal to a wider audience.
WordPress, regardless of whether you like it or not, gives you an easy GUI for editing your website and a wide choice of plug-ins and themes. The "Small Web" with it's accompanying site.js website ("small web construction set") is more complicated and appears to offer less but dressed up in language to make it sound new and unique.
- kgraves 6y agoThis is possibly the only criticism I have with Site.js, but I do wish Aral can build around a GUI for his command line tool. But agreed, something like Ghost or Wordpress looks and is more easier than Site.js
