Thanks for the detailed reply! I understand now. There's a huge overhead to learning a new framework/language/ecosystem and it might not even meet the requirements you need.

Even if there's something that's good enough, I still like that people go through the process of making their own system. Completely fresh approaches are great way to learn and appreciate the time that goes into a framework and how hard it is to achieve; extensibility, performance, flexibility, security...etc

I had a quick look at the Github and it's great to see how concise and easy to follow the framework is, that's a lot harder with older Frameworks like hexo.

Anyway hope you keep developing it further!

Many thanks! I'll definitely keep working on it, albeit a bit more slowly now that the blog is up and running.

Next, I'd like to make improvements to navigation and article discoverability on the site; I'm not yet sure what changes I'll make to the generator to accomplish this, but I'm sure there will be some (if you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them). After that, we'll see!

Thanks again for having a look!
