Maybe "blogging tool" would be the correct description, a cms is should support much more than just one content type.
Exactly. From just scanning the website my impression was Wordpress without a DB dependency. Even though Wordpress is used a lot as a CMS and this might eventually take that route they are clearly pushing blogging.
One could argue that in this case the server's file system acts as the database.
The seemingly only advantage is that Dropplets doesn't require a database, and its landing page is amazingly beautiful, clear, and to the point (though Ghost's "features" page is slick as well).
On a more technical note, click events seem to be propagated up the player on the landing page, closing it when toggling HD for example.
The concept and simplicity make me think of Ghost's ( http://ghost.org/features/ ): free, open source, near-minimalist, and self-hosted.

This looks promising. I'm gonna give this a try since I'm looking for a simple and lightweight CMS for my blog. Speaking of which, anyone have any recommendations about that (apart from Jekyll)? I still haven't found what I'm looking for and I'm on the verge of coding my own blog in plain HTML instead of just installing something like Wordpress but that may be a pain in the ass to manage once I have more than handful…

I started playing with Anchor last week. I like it thus far, because it really focuses on blogging, something WordPress kinda deemphasized two years ago. Plus, it's pretty. Which is always a nice bonus. ---- If you're not averse to paying for something, Statamic looks really awesome.
As long as its price is reasonable, I don't mind paying for a CMS, but it looks like Anchor fit to my needs better than Statamic. All I want from a CMS is to have its own search and markdown support. That's it. I don't care much about themes and all that. I'm perfectly fine with having white background and black text on top of it centered on the page as a "theme".

But, Dropplets doesn't have a built in post editor, and requires that your posts contain lots of required metadata, and in a really arbitrary order.

It's closed for signup... that's annoying.

Yep. It's also not self-hosted. Other than the fact that these are both CMS's with modern design on their landing pages, I don't see the correlation. They're very different types of software.
"You can host it on your laptop, or you can host it on a public server. The code is open, and so is the MIT license."
It's currently not public, so I would imagine at the moment it's all hosted on their servers, but according to their blog[0], they're going public on the 14th of October, meaning it should be self-hostable from then, one would assume.
