Kitty: a lightweight blogging platform

Hi all! I've been working on this project on and off for the past year or so. A couple of months ago I got the motivation to really work on it, and I think it's now ready to share. It's still in it's infancy with many rough edges, but it should work fine for most things!

It's not as nice as other alternatives like Bearblog, nor do I seek to compete with them. I wanted something simple (like Bear) that at the same time would allow me to request my posts via an API so I could use them with my static site generator. Though honestly, the real reason is that I was curious about how such a platform could be implemented.

Anyway, I'm sharing it here in case folks want to take a look and maybe share feedback :)

Really awesome looking, and I love this concept im always looking for good blogging platforms. But, I made an account and tried making a post and when I comes time to type in the body section, it doesnt register as a text box

@beelzebabe Thanks for your comment! I just pushed some fixes related to the CSRF token as well as changes with how the textbox is constructed. Could you take a look and tell if it works for you now? If not, please share some more information so I can better take a look at it :)
