I happen to have a cat named Kiki who looks rather like the mascot for this project. Her health is failing, now. I just spent the night on my living room floor next to her. I'll, likely have to put her down, today.
I might use this project to make a memorial page for her.
I wish we could get back to a “mom and pop” software market. Itch.io feels like it’s doing a lot of work for indie software that used to just be everywhere and easy to stumble onto.

That must be the first time in a very long time that I've seen something claim to support PHP 4.

> kiki is shareware.
Now that is a blast from the past.
Is much else distributed that way these days?

"It's built so that if something looks wrong, you can change it yourself without spending hours reading tutorials and watching coding videos"
Does anyone do this?
Every none coder I know just has llms build everything for them - can't imagine why they'd be looking up coding tutorials for a homepage.

PHP was and still is the best.

Hear, hear. We need more of this kind of courage to start over from first principles.

Kiki's themes can be edited to suit one's personal tastes. The theme .css files are about 120 lines long.

Reminds me of a time when my homepage (before lj blog) was using cmsimple. BTW, c still exists. Not sure if it is still "simple" tho.
This is a tangent to this post, but...

The design philosophy says you should be able to repair your own tools, but this is closed source proprietary software.
Cute page, but does not walk the walk.
