I use one that I wrote from scratch with Flask. I love the simplicity of both its code & UI. Recently added an admin panel so I can even edit posts while commuting. It's hosted on a 5$/month Vultr VPS. Had lot of fun trying to make it "secure".

In my case the big inconvenience is that I spend more time developing/improving it than actually writing articles.

Sure, it would be interesting to write from scratch :) I contemplated writing a bare minimum blog from scratch.. now i should just try developing it.

I was only wary about using existing tools like ghost, WP etc since it involves setup, updates and configurations and the learning is pretty minimal - didn't think the ROI was high.
