Thanks. It seems really good. PHP, files and folders instead of db, easy templating, plugins, admin interface built on Vue.js, open source at GitHub and a commercial license as well. Since 2012.

The only issue is to have more themes available, at getkirby-themes_com there are 22 only.

Because it's not designed with a theme approach. It's designed to build custom sites. Themes aren't really a thing inside kirby because of the tight relationship between content itself and admin interface. I like to think at it as an in between something like Laravel and WordPress.

I got it. But explain this to people who are spoiled by $59 themes :)

More themes that you can choose from -> more Kirby users -> stability -> more users coming from other solutions etc…

It's an entirely different target audience. Kirby is a tool that's designed mostly for developers, and not really for end users. There's no one-click install, there's no pressing a button to install plugins. And that's by design.

Well, in fact it was two clicks install :) I’ve downloaded it, unzipped into a folder and with PHP running I was ready… No Nodejs and React needed. These are so painful to maintain.

So Kirby is really nice to run.

And I understand your point.
