Ask HN: Alternatives to Wordpress for Blogging?
2 points by sebiw on May 15, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hi HN,

I want to start blogging again but don't want to use Wordpress. It seems so bloated with functionality that I don't need.

I'm looking for a solution, self-hosted if possible, that is really focussed on making writing blog posts nice and easy. Static page generators not really preferred because lack of mobile support.

Any suggestions? I don't want to reinvent the wheel and write something my self.

Thank, Sebastian




Hello, my Namesake,

my recommendation is Jekyll, I love Jekyll for freedom and simplicity. I posted on my blog about Jekyll: http://sebastian.korotkiewicz.eu/techlog/deploy-jekyll-blog-...

And if you are looking for a cool CMS for blogging, I recommend:

- Textpattern [self-hosted] PHP (https://textpattern.com/)

- Ghost [self-hosted] NodeJS (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost)

And this is my side-project created in one day in nodejs, everyone can write their article: - https://pbsapi.now.sh/
