As Rich Hickey argues[1], 'simple' can be an objective statement. Though I agree that without an explanation of what exactly makes this library 'simple', the better word may be 'easy'.

I was just thinking about this the other day and the subjective statement was "powerful".
Calling something 'simple' is a subjective statement which is a meaningless waste of words, especially from the author of the framework. Of course you perceive your own framework as simple. Nobody designs a framework to intentionally make something more complicated.
The word 'simple' is repeated 8 times in the first 2 paragraphs of your description. It reads like something thrown together in a thoughtless hurry. Your framework could be wonderful but it leaves the reader wondering if the code has the same level of investment as the description.
