Hi! John from Ghost here - Ghost has no bloated styles or scripts which are injected by default. You have full control of the frontend and can make it as minimal (or maximal) as you like.

My answer to the OP would be:

If you want to write (on a blog) then do literally anything but turn your blog into a development project that you'll definitely never finish - because it just becomes the excuse for not writing. (almost all developer blogs)

If you want a fun developer project to experiment with your personal website, and messing with new technology is the goal, then this stack sounds like a lot of fun. It also sounds like it will be obsolete and no longer shiny in 12 months, but again, if this is your goal then you probably don't care.

TLDR: developer tools will usually end up being great for development, publishing tools end up being great for publishing. Pick the one that suits your desired outcome best.
