Ask HN: What are the best minimalist, text-centric blogging platforms?
I have lots of written content organized under main categories and tags (multiple tags per category). Im looking for a simple site builder/template that allows me to present this in a clean, minimalist but functional way without all the fancy bells and whistles that the mainstream site builders promote.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

- ipnon 4y agoYou can’t beat hosting a plain HTML file on a static server here. You already have directory support with hyperlinks, and there is no Web technology today that will have more persistence when it comes to a template API. It’s as close as you can get to Just Works on the Internet.

- CrypticShift 4y agoPermanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog) Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?

- lovvtide 4y agoIf you're looking for a content management system that you can host yourself it might not be exactly what you're looking for, but you should check out Satellite, a blogging platform that I've been building the last couple years. I've just deployed a major upgrade recently and to be honest am super happy that it seems to be getting a bit of traction. https://satellite.earth https://satellite.earth
