This might be an unpopular opinion, but really wouldn’t sweat all the details just yet. I’d just start with something simple, free and widely used just so you get into the rhythm of blogging. An existing service probably, Wordpress would even suffice - I use Posthaven but it’s $5/month. You can focus on getting the perfect backend later, but I’d focus on writing the posts themselves and getting into the rhythm of writing to a schedule. Many well-intentioned blogs fall into disuse long before they outgrow their tech stack.
After you’ve put a dozen or so posts together you’ll have a better feel for what your needs are and you can then migrate your posts to the new platform of your choice - you can even write a blog post about it :-)
- artemis73 9y agoPosthaven is interesting! I'll have a look at it once I'm a bit more serious about blogging. Either this or something like Ghost. You're right though. From what I can tell, most of these alternatives seem to be interoperable and I can jump around easily if need be. I'll start with hugo and see where that leads me. And I'll blog about that as well :) Great idea :D Thank you!
