I’m building a startup in a similar space (link in profile).

The issue here is that you have to maintain server by yourself and it adds a lot of friction to the process.

You can own all your data, host on your own domain with custom design, but still have the convenience to focus on writing and not maintaining stuff.

There are ton of innovation happening like bearblog or write.as and I find these type of projects super exiting.
