As a public policy specialist (and a tinkerer when it comes to tech), I read the article with pure joy.
This is the "wonder" that happens when you build for the client instead of for yourself. It takes being truly intentional: sometimes the client (especially that kind of client) does not know what he needs or want; sometimes you as a dev simply build something with good intentions but just out of habit.
Taking the time to ask true, relevant questions, and build backwards, is one of the ways you achieve this. It takes time, energy, intentionality (once again)... but it's worth it.

Probably people who have never wanted to put the required thinking effort in a simple, structured response to a question, and now think that "a lot of words" magically solves that skill issue.
As a non-technical person (not a dev, not a SWE, just a curious and selftaught tinkerer), I only want my _local_ markdown files to render as a beautiful - or at least, clean - webpage, to ease reading and sharing. No Github involved, no contorsionism needed. Just local md files. It should not be that complicated, at least that's what I felt.
Those were the only requirements that made me settle with Material MkDocs, and that are driving me towards the fork MaterialX. The comparison the latter makes with Zensical [0] is _exactly_ how I feel it (again, as a non-technical person).
The product seems more 'focused' than Nextcloud, for sure.
But their docker choices are quite opinionated: no longer than yesterday I've tried (once again!) to make it run, and the fact that I have Caddy + Authelia in front of seems to be rather detrimental. I dropped the ball, and will try again in a few weeks or months.
Same here, tried both and sticked with Miniflux that seems on the lighter side. I don't really need the web interface or an app, because I channel everything towards a Telegram bot, where I read the feeds: a glance at the title, "Instant View" or long read if needed.
