offpunk is super solid, but if I'm remembering correctly doesn't do http[s]. That's part of what motivated me to write my own. I don't like having to switch apps to read what is fundamentally The Same Kind Of Thing (i.e. bloggishness) just because different peeps can't settle on a delivery protocol.
The second part is that offpunk is written in Python, which is an abomination to me due to it constantly leading me to discovering I'm missing dependencies, trying to install those dependencies leading to further dependencies misery, and so on. Should I need to move onto another machine, I just want to bring my latest tar.gz of my stuff to it, gunzip and "tar -xvf" it, and be done, not suffer past installation indignities all over again.
FWIW, sliced bread cowers next to Lua. I mean, nothing is perfect, but I've only *one* beef with Lua, which is way less than with most (all?) other languages - especially Ingles.... ;-)
well what's the singular Lua beef?
On Python, everyone who ever bought a PC says "check out Python!", then I do and I realize I don't want to delve deep at it is an interpretted language, and I haven't learned any languages yet, but I swore I'd start with a non-interpreted one, like C or whatever
