Ask HN: Alternatives to WordPress for Personal Blogging
Hello
I have been using Wordpress as my blogging platform (https://chapra.blog). I also run a newsletter via kit. Not all my posts go out as a newsletter.
My problem is my workflow. I compose in Notion, then copy and paste in wp. If it is a newsletter post, I also do that in Kit. This can be tedious. Which makes me write less.
I also sometime cross post to Medium.
I am looking for an alternative that:
- Is a working CMS that can handle both web and a newsletter.
- Can easily cross-post to Medium when wanted to.
- Works with Markdown.
- Is cheap to host.
Ghost looked promising, but costs 5 times my current plan for WP.
