> I don't understand why people are using Anubis instead of all the other tools that already exist. Is it just marketing? Saying the right thing at the right time?
Care to share existing solutions that can be self-hosted ? (genuine question, I like how Anubis works, I just want something with a more neutral look and feel).

If it is perfect for your needs other than the look, you could update the superficial parts to match your liking?
If it is designed in such a way as to make this difficult, such as if the visible content & styling is tangled within the code rather than all in static assets (I've not looked at the code myself yet), then perhaps raise an issue suggesting that this is changed (or if you are a coder yourself, perhaps do so and raise a pull request for your changes).
Given how popular the tool seems to be coming, I expect theming this sort of theming will be an official feature eventually anyway, of you are patient.
Of course the technique it uses is well know and documented, so there may already be other good implementations that match your visual needs without any of the above effort.

I would, but the author is not ok with this:
> Anubis is provided to the public for free in order to help advance the common good. In return, we ask (but not demand, these are words on the internet, not word of law) that you not remove the Anubis character from your deployment. If you want to run an unbranded or white-label version of Anubis, please contact Xe to arrange a contract.
Ah, I'd not looked into it far enough to see that so yes, just pulling the theme out and using your own could be dickish.
Though method used is not novel, and reimplementing shouldn't be too difficult if you wish to use it without their aesthetics without going against their politely expressed wishes.
