Easy to use, works on every web hoster without a database.
There are a lot of easy to use content management systems that work without a database, so this is nothing special. And what should be the advantage of a CMS that runs on your local PC and you have to upload every change you make?

Great idea to manage your websites from your PC!
Publii started as a very promising CMS/Static Site Generator. But the versions 0.38.0 through 0.38.3 don’t work for me.
My OS is GNU/Linux, distribution Xubuntu 21.10. I tried the DEB installation file and the AppImage.
When uploading my work to the server (Publii names this syncing), there are only empty folders created. No homepage, no post I wrote, no CSS fle, nothing.
After uploading, an error message tells me that not all files could be created. Reading the log file, I think that some server paths seem to be wrong, although I set everything correctly, in my opinion.
Anyway, I ask myself: Why use Publii when flat file CMSes like Bludit, FlatPress, Grav, Pico etc. work almost flawlessly?
All in all, disappointing. Actually, I like Publii, but unfortunately, it has become unusable for me.
Even with fast net, uploading/updating a web site through an online app is much slower than doing the same thing in an offline app
It's an excellent, straightforward app for creating a static website. It's very easy to use and was a good choice to use for my Rpi nginx site.
it's one of the most beautiful and most user friendly software under GPL license. It has limitations but also advantages over WordPress and similar CMS solutions.
Limitations, in deed. From version 0.36.0 to 0.38.1, there seems to have been some change of the structure. Anyway, after fresh install, I could not open my custom theme, all the posts were gone and so on. Fortunately, I had a recent upload to my server. Is that what you call user-friendlyness?
And what should be the advantages over a more popular CMS? You did not name one of them.

No SSL/TLS (FTPS) connection possible in v.0.36.0 (build 13213) beta, only FTP and SFTP. So I cannot upload to the server from within Publii.
