People with a personal blog: what’s the link, what tech/product stack did you use, and why?

philmohun.com Hosted ghost instance Ability to exit + good editor with a decent built in mail delivery tool

Substack. Lowest frictional admin startup cost for you as a new writer Least cognitive load to write + publish. Best blog discovery mechanism for new readers (it’s still not great tho) If you want to write, anything that gets in the way of you writing + posting is death. Wysr.xyz if you want to see how it look

https://davidfurlong.me/ Using Gatsby with Lumen starter, hosted on Github and deployed/built/edited through Netlify. I'm not sure I'd recommend this stack though it's ok but the editing experience isn't great

Empoweredbelonging.substack.com Also considered Ghost but Substack is easier. Now considering hosting my writing on my site, since I recently learnt how to deploy my own code online, but not sure how I should best do the distribution

I just updated mine with Farcaster comments with inspiration from @iammatthias! Gatsby Lumen Starter with some tweaks. IDE for CMS is in process, but not ideal. Minimal maintenance is high req so can focus on content here. https://me.scottrepreneur.eth.limo/posts/2022-12-29---Adding-Farcaster-Comments-To-Gatsby/

Self-made scripts + CSS from hackmd. https://github.com/vbuterin/blogmaker As for why, it was just easier to make my own thing than to figure out how to customize+fix Jekyll.
