If you don't want to use Medium or similar solutions, I would check out Ghost.

Their dashboard and editor is imo one of the best out there, really easy to use.

It's easy to host, works headless, and works well with Next.js and others (https://ghost.org/docs/jamstack/next/).

Usually the downside is that it can be a bit limiting in features , but it's perfect for blogging.
