dude...this is gorgeous!
Have you considered creating a tutorial on how to load this unto a basic hosting service like bluehost?

hey, @cryptoctopus! thanks :)

Yeah, I've just considered it and it's a great idea. I'll do one soon. Btw, Glasnost needs VPS or docker hosting to run.

Simple and nice

people -- this is awesome. Upvoted and resteemed!

For everyone taking it to the next level by leaving the conventional or even "old" server-based blogging platform -- not only can you move to "microblogging" but it appears with Glasnost you have your first chance to fully decentralize your Blog, eliminate the central point of failure and become censorship-resistant in the process!

Also love the simple and clear design approach.

Awesome news! Shared on FB and Twitter.
