Why not stick to your tagline and make it blank/minimal by default and allow people to add silly backgrounds like trees if they really want it?

because there are tonns of 'minimal/blank' projects exists already, why create another one? )

Your own title says it's yet another "minimalistic" one. Maybe you should answer your own question then.

if there's one word in common, it doesn't mean projects will all be the same.
