  1. mataroa

    naked blogging platform

    Same for me, too.

    I honestly love https://mataroa.blog it ended my paralysis for searching a blog platform, and every page is bog standard HTML. It accepts Markdown, plus it has its own anonymous analytics, so it's nice.

  3. Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

    I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

    Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

    It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.

  4. astro

    The web framework for content-driven websites. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

    I currently use Hugo for my personal website, but if I were to start from scratch today, I think I would give Astro a try. https://astro.build/
