> I intentionally doesn't keep detailed analytics on my homepage server and my digital garden, because I respect my users and don't want to push unnecessary Javascript on them. Absolutely, I'm in agreement here. I want to run a JS-free blog, just plain old static HTML. I plan to use GoAccess to parse the access logs but that's it. I think I would find it encouraging to see real human traffic. > I don't write these for others, first. Both my blog (more meta) and digital garden (more technical) are written for myself primarily, and left open. That is a great way to view it, thank you.

If you want to start fast until you find a template you want to work with, I can recommend Mataroa [0]. The blog have almost no JS (it binds a couple of keys for navigation, that's it), and it's $10/year. When you feel right in your self-hosted solution, you can move there. It's all Markdown at the end of the day. > I plan to use GoAccess to parse the access logs but that's it. That's the only thing I use, too. Nothing else. If you want to look at what I do, how I do, and reach out to me, the rabbit hole starts from my profile, here. Wish you all the best, and you may find bliss and joy you never dreamed of!
