I think that this is 💯% correct. There is a long way to go, but I think the path is not completely clear. I kind of feel like Wordpress is a Gen 2 tool. I might be wrong. But it feels like the solution to this is not just making Wordpress plugins better.

I think it is something that has: easy one-click install approach (better if no install needed but I think that’s still a ways off), a straight forward configuration/settings screen.

I think that means IF this solution is based in Wordpress, it probably means creating a simplified Admin Theme with the traditional Wordpress Admin Theme as an optional switch in “advanced settings”.

I wonder to some extent if Drupal is a good solution, however I don’t know about the one-click installation possibilities of that. I almost think either Known being further refined or an “original IndieWeb focused CMS”. However the IndieWeb is so big there are many diverse opinions as to what something like that would be like.

I lean towards those later two options: Refining Known or developing a new simple IndieWeb principled CMS, incorporating things like flat file storage and/or SQLite. With the idea of keeping it low configuration and maintenance.
