-### kew - K, Enough of Werc
+### _kew_ - K, Enough of Werc
-kew is an extremely minimal static site generator written in go inspired by the legendary `werc` by Uriel @ cat-v.
+_kew_ is an extremely minimal static site generator written in go inspired by the legendary _werc_ by Uriel @ cat-v.
it uses `lowdown`.
+
+
+**why make this when _werc_ exists?**
+_werc_ is a fantastic program but has its own tradeoffs:
+- it is a dynamic web system, not a static site generator
+- it requires Plan9 utils (rc-shell)
+- it is slow
+
+_kew_ fixes these by adopting a different philosophy:
+_werc_ treats the site as a dynamic system,
+_kew_ treats the site as a build output.
