Ask HN: What's your blog / portfolio stack?

It really depends on how deep you want to go, but the usual answer would be writing in Markdown and using Jekyll in combination with GitHub pages to present. This gives you a large amount of control and can be basically hosted for free, maybe the price of a domain. You can really get a lot out of this simple stack.

SvelteKit + Netlify. The editing workflow for my blog is slightly cumbersome, because I write locally in Obsidian (just in case I ever redesign my website again, nothing is lost) and then copy/paste into VSCode, then publish.

Once it's published, Brevo automatically picks up the RSS Feed to send out my daily newsletter, since I switched from long-form sporadic blog posts to a shorter-form daily newsletter.

I've used Hugo/Jekyll in the past and liked it, but I'm used to SvelteKit now so I just stick with it, plus I could always hook up a Headless CMS still if necessary.

It's a static website built with Jekyll. I'm serving it with NGINX from a DMZ container on a Proxmox instance located inside my apartment.

I might migrate to Hugo or another static site generator at some point because I'm too lazy to commit the Ruby/Gem stuff to long-term memory and I'm not using it for anything else.

Astro SSG deployed on git commit trigger to CloudFlare Pages. I write my content in markdown and commit to GitHub. Astro does the work on generating the static site. 100 score on PageSpeed Insights.

And apart from the domain, it’s free.
