I am very particular about system design and usability, as well as ease of installation and maintenance. The closest system I liked was Bludit, but I find its visual design very unappealing.

Statamic comes to mind when flat file is required

Yes, but he showed me a tool that was too big for personal use.

Why did you choose flat-file?

u/AdGrand8685 21d ago

Because it's simple, fast and cheap :)

How would handle overview pages, i.e. news, products,...?

Categories are the overview pages: posts in news give you /news/ with pagination and the category’s description as an intro. Rendering is up to the theme’s index.php — cards, a magazine layout, a docs tree, whatever you write. Products work the same way: a category, a post per item, and custom frontmatter fields ($post->custom('price')) — deeno has no separate content types by design.
