The idea seems solid but from what I see of the implementation it appears
exceptionally complex. It is a shame that there is an impression that
you need node.js and JavaScript to get bytes into a browser these days.

It’s more like their assumptions are ok. I mean I think we all agree on the privacy need and take-back-the-web thing. But I don’t understand how they switch so quickly from these assumption to yet-another-static-website-generator. Ok it’s in js, maybe kind of new. But woah, there is already a lot of static website generator and I’m not sure to understand their point.

Is this only to federate people under their common *.small-web.org public suffix? In what is it different from the *.nohost.me/*.noho.st self-hosting domain from yunohostÂą?

So in the end I’m not really convinced. Or I completely missed their point (what is totally possible).
