Things I would like in a blogging platform: * Generate lightweight static website * Good clean default CSS so I don't have to mess with it * Automatically upload website to CDN and trigger expirations as necessary. * Self-hosted * Runs on AWS Lambda or any other Function as a Service equivilient * Has a super lightweight CMS that I can easily use on both desktop and mobile, so if I have ideas I can start writing anyw…

Maybe a static blog (e.g. Hugo), hosted on Netlify and making use of their netlify-cms package?

Maybe not officially, but in practice that's how it's used: The unit's official symbol is bar; the earlier symbol b is now deprecated and conflicts with the use of b denoting the unit barn, but it is still encountered, especially as mb (rather than the proper mbar) to denote the millibar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)
Yeah, in general, there are many, many "unit collisions" that can really only be exactly interpreted from context. I think it would be great if everyone started using bracket notation (or similar) for prefixes. E.g. [k]B [Mi]B This is the convention used in pqm.js and it works really well. this would go a long way toward units that can be accurately read by a computer.
Collisions seem to be most prevalent in "IT" units or for improper SI usage. But maybe the latter is really the reason for the former in this case: if people separated SI and other units properly for IT units, it seems to be it would also be perfectly fine (but like me, a lot of people seem to have no idea of the correct definitions).

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by self-hosted. What does AWS Lambda do in this scenario? Surely not host the blog, so it must be the "cms"? At that point I'm not clear why you'd rule out netlify, as it's no longer "self-hosted." Please clarify! :)
* load a web page
* write words
* hit submit
* this triggers a lambda function that generates a static website and puts it on s3
* this triggers another lambda function that pokes the CDN and expires anything that changed
By self-hosted I mean I control all the parts. I can change the generation code, the CDN upload/expiration code, I can change the output, I can view the logs, all within my own account.

If you have static generated website and a CDN, why do you need Lambda/Function? Or do you mean these as a set to pick and chose from?
It would also be the code behind the web page where I write the words.

I was trying to play on the word "bare". Yeah, I realised this a bit too late
I have to say I like the character based logo. Inventive use of Unicode I'm guessing.
If you set your iPhone to Japanese keyboard it comes with hundreds of these build in

A question for you (and everyone): how important do you think it is that the algorithmic discoverability be married to a single platform/aggregator? What if you just had better algorithmic discoverability across all writing on the internet, regardless of where it's hosted? I get that that would miss some of the benefits you mention (shared comment logins for example) but I'm wondering if people think it would capture…
Personally, I've started seeing algorithmic discoverability as an anti-feature that mainly serves the interests of the attention economy. For my part, I want more long-form, thoughtful articles that offer an enriching read. Not only have we got a good decade or two's worth of experience showing that no algorithmic discovery system ever favors that kind of thing over content that's morally equivalent to Five Minute Cr…
For myself, I usually read in two "phases". I collect material from sources that are usually high quality for me, and do some superficial skimming to trim out the content I don't particularly care for.
Later, when I'm more "in the mood" or have a long period of time, I pop() and read(). The stack gets pretty large at times, but it only takes a couple days of vacation to blow through most of it. If I pass over something in the stack enough times, it gets free()'d.
I don't know if I'd trust an algorithm to do either of these stages for me. I'd trust an algorithm provide input to phase (1), but never to replace phase (1).
