   I didn't even realise Kitten was fundamentally an expert system. https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#install

   In my defense I don't think the words "expert system" are anywhere on its page.

     @ramin_hal9001 @screwtape It’s a web server and framework. You make web sites and apps with it. The server and framework are optimised to make it earlier to build web sites and apps owned/deployed/controlled by one person (you). It also makes it possible for the owners of these web sites to communicate via a shared protocol in a peer to peer fashion.

     @screwtape I have read “Reference” document of the kitten project and am still not really sure what it is — something to do web sites, it seems.

     It has a parser and a command to “build” things, so I guess it is sort of like PHP or Django? Or maybe sort-of like Wordpress or Drupal?

     @aral thanks for the explanation!

     “A web server and framework [to] make web sites and apps” makes perfect sense to me. I humbly recommend you include those words toward the top of the home page.

     By the way, I am enjoying the humor in the FAQs!
