someone's going to need to explain why people are going crazy over file-based CMSs. Seems like a regression...

@dvsch Wait, like document-based databases? or do you mean something else?

@studip101 stuff like marco.org/secondcrack, getkirby.com, it seems like the market has exploded for these recently.

@dvsch Have you looked into whether Kirby is as good as Stacey? Stacey is pretty damn good.

@dvsch @studip101 staceyapp.com —  And @tealtan (I think) shared this one with me today: scriptogr.am

@dvsch @studip101 — @justincharles is interested in these, if you converse. Oh, and @kolber made Stacey. Smart dude.

@maxfenton honestly, I don't know what the benefit of these are. To me they seem like an extra layer away from the source to me.

@dvsch I think there's some advantage for portfolio/archive sites. Also, they're really fun to make.

@maxfenton the lack of search seems like a big issue with it being used for archives. One day I'll give it a test run

@dvsch I think it's generally a matter of the skills and proclivities of the artists I work with. Some are super-visual, some procedural.

@maxfenton I can get behind that. I'd recommend this over indexhibit pretty much any time.

@dvsch @maxfenton I've not done anything with Stacey/etc yet but it seems to me they remove layers of obfuscation rather than add them.

@dvsch YES. That was... I would kindly enjoy the time I spent trying to make anything on that.

@justincharles @maxfenton I guess it depends on how you view obfuscation. In the end it's all HTML. So I wonder why not write that directly.

@maxfenton Yeah, Indexhibit was a great conceptual art project that should have died at that stage.

@maxfenton @dvsch @studip101 I think for people who update the system prefer this over janky web UI. Good for artists, architects, etc.

@maxfenton @dvsch @studip101 It essentially is MVC for dummies (with minimal C) and makes adding data easy. Less useful for HTML-proficient.

@tealtan @maxfenton @studip101 do you think learning Markdown is that different from learning HTML?

@dvsch @tealtan @maxfenton @studip101 No. If you play the trumpet, you can play a cornet.
