  3. Grav

    Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony

    Congratulations. A big win for Internet decentralization! (It's not sarcasm, I'm all for having your own space on the Internet).

    I invite you to try Grav CMS[0], it's what I use for my personal blog[1].

    Grav is a flat-file CMS, it doesn't use RDBMS. It's highly perfomant. I also have CloudFlare in front of it, but it was already faster than your typical WordPress you see elsewhere.

    Grav also adheres to the latest PHP version, so you don't have to carry along legacy syntax around like other CMSes. Its error pages are comprenhensive and the stack traces are actually readable.

    I personally think it's the best out there technically speaking, the best of both worlds (Flat-file and at the same time, dynamic instead of compiling the build every new post), the only drawback is that its plugin ecosystem it's still in the early stages, so if you're to create marketing landing pages or similar, you'll still fall short there.

  4. quicksite

    If you want a blog of your own, no need to get a VPS or anything. You can just fork my repo here:

    https://gitlab.com/stavros/quicksite

    You can even edit your posts right on GitLab, so you don't need knowledge of git.

  5. angerwhale

    Back when blogs were a thing, my solution was to require all comments to be PGP signed. No spam, and the people commenting on my blog all liked that sort of thing, so it worked quite well.

    The software still exists: https://github.com/jrockway/angerwhale ("last commit: 15 years ago". holy shit.)

  6. languagetool

    Style and Grammar Checker for 25+ Languages

    No I want to improve my English and learn. I checked again and I found some “lots/a lots/sintax/plural/etc..." errors, and I fixed them.

    Now I installed https://languagetool.org and I will use it before write tects...ehm texts =)

    Thanks for the comments and help!

  7. markdown-blog

    Simple PHP blog that renders markdown posts. No installation or database needed.

    If you host anywhere a LAMP stack: I built a very basic markdown-based in PHP: https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

    The idea is that Apache/PHP handle the loading/displaying of markdown files form a directory, so to add a new post you just create a new markdown file. It's very basic, but it's easy to customize with a bit of HTML/CSS/PHP.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
