What technology would you recommend to build a blog?

• Gatsby

  356 55,000 9.4 JavaScript

  The best React-based framework with performance, scalability and security built in.

  

Also if you like React you can think about Gatsby and Next.js they are static site generators where you create your blog in React, the first one is not recommended anymore after the second came out.

• eleventy 🕚⚡️

  244 16,170 9.0 JavaScript

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

  

I've used Jekyll for my previous blog, but recently I've started using Eleventy and I really like it. Static site generators in my opinion are best for developers. And if you know JavaScript you can easily extend it with custom more advanced stuff. The articles are created in Markdown (for both of them).

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Next.js

  2,039 120,313 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework
