Why stop using Medium???
- ok123456 4y agoSoft paywall for some random guy's blog. Uses 40mb of artisnal javascript to display a basic text document with a few images maybe. Hostile to the open web.
- xigoi 4y agoTry reading a Medium article on slow internet connection (such as EDGE), then compare with a plain-text article like http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/.
- rattray 4y agoIs there a full-featured, usable, free, no-code, no-sysadmin blog platform with performance akin to motherfuckingwebsite.com ?
- xigoi 4y agoI haven't used it (I prefer to write my site myself), but perhaps https://bearblog.dev/ https://bearblog.dev/?
- rattray 4y agoNice, that does fit the bill! Note that it does not include custom domains or image uploading on the free plan, but you can upgrade for $29 (lifetime), which gets you: Custom domains (this is time-consuming) Image uploading (due to the cost of hosting images) Email subscriber lists (since it gets complicated) Beta features (since they aren't ready yet) You can upgrade for $29, flat. The editing interface is just a textbox where you paste markdown; doesn't seem there's a github integration or anything like that, which is too bad.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI stopped copying my articles there, some time ago. I stopped when I posted an article, and Medium decided it was so good, that it deserved a paywall.
