Wren 0.1.0 "Troglodytes"

A whole website in one small file.

Wren is a CMS in the spirit of sNews, rebuilt from scratch for modern PHP. One file, one SQLite database it creates itself, no framework, no build step, no dependencies.

In this first release: one-minute browser setup · articles with markdown, drafts, and pagination · pages with an orderable menu · RSS feed · theming via a single optional theme.html with nine {{tags}} · hashed passwords, CSRF protection on every form, prepared statements throughout, and login throttling.

Requires: PHP 8.1+ with PDO SQLite — standard on virtually every host.
Install: upload index.php, open it in a browser, fill in one form. Done.
