## A short introduction.  
  
*Disseminate* is a blogging platform designed to be lightweight, easy to use & powered by Markdown.
It stems from an issue i've come across, where no blogging platform i could find was:

* easy to deploy.  
* has fast loading times.  
* simple enough for my -10 iq brain.  
  
## State of Project  
  
Disseminate is a work-in-progress, although it is in a more than usable state.
  
## Blogs using Disseminate  
  
* [My own :)](https://penhub.nl)

## To-do  
  
- [x] [HIGH] Server-side parsing.
- [x] [MEDIUM] Docker build system.
- [x] [MEDIUM] Proper metadata (title, date etc). 
- [x] [MEDIUM] **Automated** prebuilt docker images.
- [ ] [LOW] Caching for faster load times.
- [ ] [LOW] Interface for blog management (web ui?).
- [ ] [LOW] Alternative frontend (solution)? (EJS is pretty primitive!)
  
## License  
  
Disseminate uses the GNU GPLv3 license. The two important points (in my opinion) are as follows:  
* Any modifications made to disseminate should be open sourced.  
* Any projects forking or using disseminate source code must be released under the same license (GNU GPLv3).  
  
Keep in mind that these two points are important **in my opinion**! Everything stated in the GNU GPLv3 license still applies.  
(Paid) themes do *not* have to be open-sourced.
