The user defines a content type (schema) with fields they will want on their publication. A template is then generated using nunjucks, following some basic rules. As is, the user can just create this and the system will give them forms to start creating content. All is saved to JSON files rather than other DB systems with the option to add support for them later as plugins.

Lowtide includes some CSS only themes that kinda look nice, but allows more experienced users to use their creativity (a la 'zengarden'). You can also manually tweak the templates! Static site generation means no unsightly javascript or hidden agendas! Currently, the only scripts on my testing site are a theme changer (that reads a persistent value from localstorage) and a nice looking video player skin (that uses the Media API from HTML5) I made. 3/(thread, shut up hash: #lowtide )
