What is your tech stack for blog websites? (not wordpress)

• eleventy 🕚⚡️

  244 16,213 9.3 JavaScript

  A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

  

The only time I have any need for a project like this in recent years is for hobby projects, but I've been quite fond of the static site generator approach, especially using Eleventy ( https://www.11ty.dev/ ), hosted any-old-where, though Netlify certainly makes it very easy.

• contentlayer

  29 3,067 6.5 TypeScript

  Contentlayer turns your content into data - making it super easy to import MD(X) and CMS content in your app

  

For my personal website, I use Next and Contentlayer since I prefer to write my content as markdown files. I then host it using vercel's free tier.

  97 5,967 9.3 HTML

  The most intuitive Static Site CMS designed for SEO-optimized and privacy-focused websites.

I’m trying out Publii (https://getpublii.com/). It’s an app on your computer that gives a nice interface for building pages and managing content. Supports themes, syncing and uploading to your host (I’m using AWS S3 + Cloudfront for the moment), has a few extensions, more I can’t remember rn. Totally free and open source.

I use my blog as an excuse to play around with new stuff too. There’s some Rust and Neon powering a few random things on my blog like talking to Spotify’s API and blog view counts. It’s arguable mot the most efficient way of doing things (SSR with would suffice), but I that’s what makes me excited to still tinker with my blog and add new things when I can. Astro makes it easy and straightforward while being able to bring your framework gives you the best of all worlds too!
