@jgmac1106 Morning from sunny Ocean City, NJ #IndieWeb! Spent the wee hours setting up my nephews with blogs using @withknown and adding them to our private family social network: https://ourclan.jgregorymcverry.com/. Excited to eventually add a family ... https://is.gd/VsjGIh (twitter.com/_/status/1013732349614415872)

nw[m] Hi, is there a demo instance of Known that I can use to play with and check it out?
# 
[jgmac1106] @nw[m] here you go: https://knowndemo.jgregorymcverry.com/ It is a 0.9.2 (current is 0.9.9) but if you join I will make you an admin so you can play
# [jgmac1106] will update to 0.9.9.9 later, trying to get a few work hours in before I take kids to beach
# nw[m] [jgmac1106]: Thanks! Will check it out
# nw[m] Registered as nils
# nw[m] So, if I understand correctly, Known is basically an alternative to WordPress with fewer plugins?
# nw[m] And more indieweb features?
# [jgmac1106] What is Known?
# [jgmac1106] but yes it is a lightweight CMS with turnkey native indieweb support, whereas WordPress is the constant tinkering of themes and plugins to make Indieweb work, known just works out of the box.
# [jgmac1106] https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com https://clmooc.jgregorymcvery.com, https://rhizo15.jgregorymcverry.com/ are all different versions I have a bazillion Known sites
# nw[m] Sounds good!

# [jgmac1106] @nw[m] you are now an admin feel free to mess around
# [jgmac1106] again though this is an old version. i will push to 0.9.9 after I take kids to beach
# nw[m] Any thoughts on how Known compares to Grav?
# [jgmac1106] Never played with grav, there are grav users here, but Known is meant for non technical end users, grav may take more DIY
# nw[m] 👌🏻

# nw[m] Thanks, [jgmac1106] -- how do I delete my account? I'm done playing :)
# [jgmac1106] I will delete it
# nw[m] Cheers

# [jgmac1106] Grav, Ruby, Drupal the more technical but actively developed CMS, WordPress biggest portion of community...but its WordPress, the more technical crowd used Jekyll or some home built CMS or SSG
