It's comforting to see blogging as a topic on HN front page, along with plenty of constructive comments. I'll take some of the ideas on board. I've been working on a blogging service myself (here's my blog on it https://lmno.lol/alvaro https://lmno.lol/alvaro), focusing on minimalism, hopefully enabling the content to shine on any kind of device (you can read from your favorite terminal too). You drag and drop your entire blog from a markdown file https://indieweb.social/@xenodium/112265481282475542 https://indieweb.social/@xenodium/112265481282475542 (feels more like keeping notes, which you happen to export as a blog). Service hasn't officially launched. You can play with https://lmno.lol https://lmno.lol (ephemeral posts) without signing up. Reach out if you'd like to register a blog (invite at lmno.lol). ps. ASCII art is not displaying properly on Android (known issue). So far, I can only fix by including a monospace font. I'd love to know if this is still possible to fix using system fonts.

The import/export reminds me of my own little blog generator project I've been working on over the years (super immature) Essentially, your whole blog is just one file called "resume.json" that describes where all your post/pages come from, they could be external or local resources linked -> https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-cli/blob/master/blog.json https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-cli/blob/master/blog.js... And then you have "generators" which are just functions, that can take your blog.json and output all the required html/assets to build it e.g. https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-generator-boilerplate https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-generator-boilerplate The main idea being that you only ever have to keep safe your blog.json, which you could put as a gist or anything. Love your setup so far, will follow along.
