With tools like Github Pages, netlify, etc, and static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo and nanoc, I’d argue - yes it’s possible.
Wordpress itself attracts criticism but for a large class of users it does work.
Ironically imo Medium, with its “dickbar” and pop ups, is a fairly crappy reading experience.
- robjan 8y agoI don't think setting up and configuring Jamstack is within the realm of understanding of the majority of Medium users. Most indie publishers are "non-technical".
- Kagerjay 8y agoThat, and medium paywalls content as well. I still would rather use wordpress over Jekyll (which I have used) and Hugo. Wordpress just has so many themes to pick from, there's something for everyone. There's a learning curve over medium, but you get used to it you can customize it if you know basic HTML/CSS/JS. Netlify may be free for personal use, but I'd still rather pay $6/month for 10 custom sites in sitegrounds. Wordpress just has way more matured tools, I'm not a big fan of change for something that's solved already Also, I am not a fan of Jekyll's writing tools either. Wordpress out of the box, lets me just write things natively with less friction. I don't need things like cloudcannon or foresty.io.
