Of course, there are other options, too like Ghost Pro https://ghost.org/pricing/ https://ghost.org/pricing/
- esskay 4y agoSoftware devs dont let friends use Wordpress. (I kid of course but would never touch it myself for the obvious problems it has)
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI use it all the time. What are these "obvious" problems?
- esskay 4y agoI think this (and the overall discussion) cover it better than I ever could in a single post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30172268 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30172268 However from a personal level the main two ones for me are the poor quality of its codebase and the lack of care or common sense around the official plugin repository, bordering on outright incompetence on their part for allowing unvetted and highly dangerous plugins to stay on the official repo. Honestly as a developer for going on 20 years in a professional capacity I physically recoil at the absolute awfulnes of the codebase.
- hestefisk 4y agoIt might be poor code, but it runs pretty much everywhere and is very popular :)
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoFair 'nuff. But it still works fine for my blogs, and I've not had any issues. I also know a lot of folks that use it for sites. What are the alternatives? Remember that most of the folks I work with are far, far from tech wizards.
