Ask HN: What are you using for blogging?

[tnolet]

Curious what the current consensus with regard to blogging (platforms). Is it static renders like Jekyll or Hugo? SaaS like Medium or Substack? Or OS platforms like Ghost or Wordpress?

I have tried to follow Hugo's development but lost track with its constant evolution and addition of features I do not need...therefore for now I follow a simpler path: I keep my data in markdown files and I plan to switch to asciidoctor for good; it's quite old, it's battle-tested, and offers me many options to produce various forms of output; be it HTML, PDF, ePub, etc...

If O'Reilly trusts it to produce its ebooks, then I'm sure it worthy of my time and effort!

I use Zola to generate a couple of different sites, one of them a blog.

I built my own static site generator and host it on github page.
