FAQ

Mainly to comment and clarify several technical and philosophical decisions.

Because believe it or not, it is fun. And it also is a good challenge and a learning experience.
Because programming in shell script just feels right when relying so much on the Unix tools and third party utilities.
Because pure speed is not the main focus of this project as much handyness and duct-tape-ability.
Because Bash is very powerful (for a shell script language), and is very well documented.
Because Bash and the Unix tools are stable like dinosaurs (no meteorites expected), they're very reliable, and almost omnipresent.
Because by being slower and less powerful than other alternatives, it forces to compensate with a clearer vision, and to remain closer to the essentials.
And because a sane, useful, clear, solid, and feature-packed script is something to be-hold. :'-)

Because separation of data and presentation, smaller file size...

webera is loosely inspired by:

The Unix philosophy as the technological and philosophical substrate from where this application is nourished.
The suckless philosophy as an inspiration and a reminder of the right attitude.
The Swiss Army knife, as the canonical embodiment of versatility condensed in a small package.
The Primitive Technology guy, as an inspiration and a reminder on how it's always possible to create handy useful human-supporting structures using the most fundamental tools.
