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

This list is great. Thank you for compiling it!

My pleasure. It keeps growing constantly, there are so many platforms out there.

I'd suggest Astro ( https://astro.build/ )

Astro is really good for this use case. Also easy to host on platforms like Netlify.

I am using a simple Jekyll theme minimal-mistakes[0] which I customized to suit my needs.

I'm hosting my blog[1] on GitHub Pages, the repo[2] is public so you can take a look and fork it if you find it interesting.

The setup is really simple, straightforward, and no-cost.

  import random
  platform = random.SystemRandom().choice(["Astro", "Blogger", "Hugo", "WordPress", "Ghost"])
  print(platform)

I recommend Ghost. You can self host it or use their hosting service.

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