Brevity on Kickstarter - Check it out!

Hi folks,

I created Brevity for my own use and thought about throwing it at Kickstarter to see if it sticks; and to see if anyone else has a need for it.  http://kck.st/21jLaTe

Heads up:  While ~70% of Brevity is already open source software, making it 100% open source is only possible through adequate financial support.

I'd love to know via Kickstarter, if this is something I should further invest in; towards seamless installation and proper documentation.

If adequately backed, it will go fully open source (BSD to be specific). (pls. Ignore Kickstarter's pledge level jargons)

Brevity is different than other CMS's out there.  It gives you all you need as a publisher and nothing more. "Do one thing do it well". To its end users, the only technical requirement is knowledge of: typing, copy & pasting links and drag & dropping images. No Markup, Markdown, or anything else.

Is it perfect? No
Is it complete? Not yet
Does it scale? Yes, horizontal scaling is possible via stateless configuration (assets on S3)
Is there a demo? Yes: simplyfound.com
Is it Django based? Of course :)

Constructive feedback is always appreciated.

Cheers,
Val
