Bearblog does support themes. You can add custom CSS in your dashboard.

Thanks for correcting me.

I see now that the Bearblog landing page lists "free themes". I'm having trouble, though, making sense of the "no stylesheets" selling point(?) at the top of the page, especially given what you are now saying.

[manuelmoreale]

I think it’s no external style sheet and everything is inlined

Besides other differences, Bear Blog does not offer a self-hosted solution such as WriteFreely.

Seems to be self-hostable: here is the code, it is even MIT licensed: https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/

> It is more like Substack than Hugo. Due to this it isn't possible to individually self-host a Bear Blog.

Apparently not.
