A recent update: Yes, multisite is possible.

I completely understand the concerns about video length. It’s never easy coming up with short demo videos when you’re the project creator. Typically you want to people all the neat stuff you’re so proud of – but you know you have to cut out a lot because viewers have a short attention span. In the past, I’ve found that having more videos is always best. A super short intro video, and then in-depth videos on topics of interest.

On the templates, I will definitely write again when I’ve had some time to experiment with the template system. As I said initially, the MVC is probably the best in theory, but as someone who develops on WordPress very heavily, I can guarantee that the WP community has a lot of developers that left many different CMS backends for the simplicity of creating highly customizable WP themes. With some recent Google statistics putting WP as the backend of 8% of the entire Internet, it’s definitely an engine to compete with. The fact that so many people have left systems with more features for one with more simplicity in theme creation speaks loudly about what our developer priorities often are.

Happy you enjoyed the video. We started off aiming for a 30 second video, but as you can tell, it ended up getting a bit longer to demonstrate some of the key features. We hesitated from adding too much more as people will begin to drop off as each minute passes.

Regarding templates, we’d love to hear an update once you had more of a play. The MVC style approach allows for a lot of elegance as your site grows, but any constructive feedback on improving documentation or the software is always openly taken
