The GitHub page (and frankly, to a degree also the landing pages) do not explain very well why the project is so great.
Basically, pico.sh is a collection of minimal web services that you control via SSH. Since it uses your SSH key as identifier, there is no registration process needed. For instance, setting up a blog with prose.sh[^1] took me less than a minute.
There is no real GUI, you manage everything via the terminal. Since publishing stuff is just running a one-liner in shell,[^2] it is very simple to automate/customize stuff. Copied the one-liner into the shell commands plugin for Obsidian, and I was able to publish notes from Obsidian to my prose.sh blog with one hotkey.

- realsid 2y agoHow has your experience been using this service. Considering using prose.sh to start writing.
- pseudo_meta 2y agoThere isn't really much more to it than I already wrote. It's minimal, local, markdown-based, and terminal-friendly. There is some basic customizability (special files to add a footer and/or a header), and that's it. If you already have SSH set up (e.g. for GitHub), it really just takes a minute to get started, so I'd just give it a try and see whether this is the right thing for you.
