It's not closed source.

#62This is a tangent to this post, but... I happen to have a cat named Kiki who looks rather like the mascot for this project. Her health is failing, now. I just spent the night on my living room floor next to her. I'll, likely have to put her down, today. I might use this project to make a memorial page for her. https://ibb.co/7dRCnWrp https://ibb.co/1GWwDKLY
Oh man. That really stinks. Losing a pet is hard. Hang in there.

#64The best part of the no-build, small-footprint approach is longevity: no dependency rot, nothing to maintain, and it'll still open and run in ten years. We've half-forgotten that "view source and hack it" is how a lot of us learned the web in the first place. Good to see tools that lean back into that.

#65> kiki is shareware. Now that is a blast from the past. Is much else distributed that way these days?
Would love to know myself. I haven't seen the term used in 20+ years.
Not enough reading of Hacker News, young grasshopper! (-:

I'm sorry to hear about Kiki. She's very beautiful, thanks for sharing.
She reminds me of my tuxedo cat Bob who recently passed. I remember laying down all night in the comfort room before he had to be put down and sobbing knowing how much pain he was in. It's really hard.
I think a memorial site is a lovely idea, I created one for my cat as well: https://bob.duchastel.com

I'm guessing this is made for a specific audience who dig this type of UI

Really? I can read it just fine. It’s probably your monitor brightness settings, which is still a design flaw on their part regardless

I meant more as an active use-term for software licensing that kiki uses (and in the sense of the OP's question), not in its historical sense that it is used by writers now.
