We have very different ideas as to what complexity is required versus necessary, and we also likely have very different ideas as to what the competitive landscape for a product like yours is.
I do empathise with what you're saying, but there is nothing radical in your approach. It's a staid and common position in technical circles, and in my experience it lends itself to being blind sided.
Hopefully you will prove me wrong but I think I'll be proven right.
- mro_name 6y agoI appreciate very much that you bear with me. I'll do my best to offer a low-fat, no-sugar option to get stuff into the internet, that's absolutely layperson-friendly. And contribute to the fediverse if wanted. And even the silos. Very few steps, no unexplained jargon, very few core concepts. Ideally no running code facing other users (alas, the search). Use existing tools, no NIH. Align with what the hosters explain and sell. But absolutely zero dependencies that might need patches (except a webserver). No node, PHP etc. No DB. A minimal trusted computing base. You can simply copy the whole site to backup/mirror it.
