Since Lua is Portuguese for "moon", is this a Sailor Moon reference?

This totally went over my head and I am so glad you pointed it out. I now want to use it just because of that

I am surprised you are not using OpenResty, like Lapis.

We do have OpenResty support. But sailor doesn't work just with it. It also works on Apache, Xavante (a lua written server) and Mongoose (a very lightweight server)

Viewing this on Chrome on Android. Being built with bootstrap, it's a bit surprising that the responsiveness of the site is so poor. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/nnG3zgg.png

Sailor's website does not use the bootstrap feature. To be honest I just picked a random nice-looking open template. It has its issues but it's not that bad! XD I confess I gotta work on that. Thanks for pointing it out!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes! Thanks for noticing! And the blog app example is called Tuxedo!

I noticed those release names, too! Made my day.

One is glad to be of service! :D

This is very cool. I love Lua, though my experience with it is limited to the few weeks I spent playing around with it as a Source engine scripting language in Half-Life 2: Sandbox. Still, it was very fun to learn, and I think this is an interesting application outside of its usual game scripting territory that I'd love to try out sometime. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

There are a lot of really nice Lua frameworks recently. Lapis is really cool too:

Yes! Orbit is very cool too even though it's not updated often. I'm really glad to see such a variety of projects in Lua community!
