I've been spending way too much time playing with blog platforms over the past few years. Between tweaking themes and even coding Hugo and Astro sites from scratch, I realized something - I was having lots of fun learning, but I wasn't actually blogging.
Recently I realized, I already have the perfect solution since 2021: my barely-used Posthaven blog. It's simple, it works, and best of all, they promise to keep your content online forever (even if you stop paying). That last bit matters to me since blogs are often personal documentation that outlives the writer.
So I'm switching to Posthaven and dropping all the fancy stuff. While, Hugo and Astro blogs and Notion-driven blogs are great, I don't need all that. I'm also letting go of my perfectionist content standards - I’m not running a business, it's just me sharing my journey. If someone finds it useful, that's awesome.
Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one.
