This site https://startablog.com fluctuates - we have spurts of way more than 2k/month and some way less. I think it averages out to <2k/month though.

If you want to just write - the answer is still wordpress (https://startablog.com/guide).

If you want to focus on tweaking the site to your heart's content, go right ahead, but the number #1 component to a blog is...writing.

Focus on that and stop worrying about the rest of the details.

Not sure what HN has against wordpress, but it's still the GOAT in terms of blogging platforms. It's

1) Easy to setup

2) Incredibly SEO friendly

3) Most importantly: you own your content.

Yes - it's not as technically advanced as engineers would like - but let's be real - it's a blog - not a venture funded startup.

I understand that - but they should be able to sync the databases or pass an auth token of some sort.

The fact you have to re-enter it all makes the experience stupid and customers frustrated.
