I recently got a gemini PDA, and i started to look at blogging on this thing. (basically android phone with physical keyboard)
Two biggest contenders were wordpress and blogger. I don't want a cms for my blog so blogger made sense, unfortunately it's tied up to google.
Ghost seems compelling, but 20$/month or 5-10$ on other hosting companies is too much, i won't spend hundred(s) every year on my blog. For now at least.
There is markdown editors on F-droid, and static site generators are viable.
I will definitely look into Blot.
- spockz 8y agoBlot is actually only $20/y so 12 times cheaper than ghost. Also be aware that you can get free hosting using github pages, or netlify.
- mxuribe 8y agoHow have I never heard of this Gemini PA!?! I took a look and it really seems awesome! It's a tad pricey (I'm referring to the model with wifi only at $499 USD)...but admittedly I am a cheapskate, and I'm sure prices will go down with increased adoption, economies of scale, etc. ;-) Nevertheless, it really seems to be an amazing form factor. I could absolutely see this as being my laptop for the road. Thanks for sharing this!
- fenwick67 8y agoYeah I'm also pretty stoked about this thing, if only it weren't so pricy.
- s09dfhks 8y agoYou can self host ghost though
