I developed my personal site - https://vladislavsorokin.com (not much content there though) with NextJS typescript markdown blog template https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/blog-...

Now I am thinking about markdown editor, because writing content in VSCode, well, its ok, especially if you copy-paste from GPT, but ideally I would like to write it on the page itself so you see immediately what you get and you don't need to run the localhost etc. I think its not really that hard to make it.

I am very happy with Zola. Every SSG has its own shortcomings, for Zola I was initially bothered by lack of 'proper' footnotes and the insistence on having to have frontmatter, but I've yet to feel that I cannot do something really. The docs can be a touch confusing imo, but they're written with care.

I can only recommend Zola as well. I’ve been using it for past 4 years or so and it’s been very stable. Like you, I feel the docs could be a bit more deeper (+more examples) but I’ve always managed to figure out what I need to do.

I have 3 blogs [0][1][2] and they all use Astro [3] with a variation of the same theme. The content is written in Markdown, and I'm in the process of moving them all from Netlify to self hosted Coolify [4].

Not sure which one’s the ideal tool but I’m slowly collecting them all here: https://manuelmoreale.com/blog-platforms

I don't want to cramp your style, but displaying those in a table would really improve readability

I see what you did there

I used to just use GitHub Pages but not really satisfied with the existing templates that the generators (Jekyll, Hugo etc.) have on GitHub. I now just started using self-hosted Ghost and absolutely loving it. It has a really nice CMS, and beautifully designed templates.

Proper footnotes have now landed! https://github.com/getzola/zola/commit/6a2b890545398bb21cab5...
