    This sounds cool, I'll add the small fixes other users recommended me and then ask relatives to use it.

    Hahaha, thank you for "quoting the full name". It's mostly a "toy app / learning experience" at this point, but I'm glad it may provide even the tiniest bit of value to others. Sad…

    SSI is supported by "old battle tested" servers like Apache or Nginx, there's a "new guy on the block" that I find quite promissing: Caddy[0] however it doesn't support SSI, instea…

    HTML + CSS for whitespacing & viewport width + SSI | Caddy's template That combo is more than enough for almost all the websites out there, I've 3 different sites like that and the…
