Slightly off topic question:

I want to publish blog on a domain I own -- I currently use Netlify+Hugo and NetlifyCMS but the editor experience (Richtext / Markdown + upload individual images) is very poor. There is no concept of saving drafts either; or ability to edit the hierarchy/URLs of posts after they are published.

I wish this tech got out of my way and simply let me focus on the content -- text, formatting, pasting images -- and one click save/publish.

Is there a simpler WYSIWYG editor that allows us to simply type, format and publish blog posts?

Life is too short to deal with high-maintenance / high-friction / brittle setups.



Trix is simple and easy to use for basic writing like a blog. It’s what Basecamp and HEY both use (it was built by 37signals and is the default in Rails)

Try WordPress,

it’s not as bad as you think. Either the hosted version or on a php hosting which are cheap.
