Alternatives to Ghost for Blogging?

You could use Gurlic, although it's still being worked on, and I don't promise the polish or feature set of ghost/wordpress/medium.

Here's an example.

https://gurlic.com/homer/the-iliad-book-i

Themed: https://gurlic.com/homer/the-iliad-book-i?theme=pudding https://gurlic.com/homer/the-iliad-book-i?theme=minimal https://gurlic.com/homer/the-iliad-book-i?theme=naked

Gurlic supports custom domains too, by the way: https://classics.wtf/the-iliad-book-ii

If you are looking for a light system and do not mind doing some minimal setup, try out Jekyll/Hugo/Gatsby. All of these have a good developer support.

For hosting you can try https://netlify.app/ or https://pages.github.com/ .

Both of these provide a free tier.

Example : My website built using Jekyll , hosted on github. https://97amarnathk.github.io/

I host my blog https://miguendes.me on hashnode.com and I'm very happy.

I used to lose tons of time setting up hugo/jekyll and not writing anything.

Once I move to hashnode I could focus on writing only as most of the things are out of the box.

Most importantly, the content is yours and you can back the data up on github automatically.

The only minor downside is that the images you upload is stored in their CDN. But you can host it yourself if you prefer.

Hi! I'm the founder of https://www.dynablogger.com - there's a free plan so it's easy to give it a try and you can import content from WordPress and Ghost. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions

I'm quite liking https://getgrav.org. With the admin plugin it's a neat combo of flat file and actual CMS.

What is wrong with wordpress ? Asking bc I use it to host a few blogs.

Is Drupal still around? I used that when Wordpress didn't do what I wanted. This was years ago though.

I'm content with Hugo for blogs now.

Depends on what kind of system you want. Hugo could be an alternative.
