The Power of Simple Tools
Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one. This blog system proves that you don't need complex frameworks to publish your thoughts online.
What Makes This Work
The entire system consists of:
- Markdown files for writing - A simple Python script for building - Clean HTML and CSS output - Zero runtime dependencies
Hosting Options
Because this generates static files, you can host it virtually anywhere:
- GitHub Pages (free) - Netlify (free tier) - Your own server - Any web hosting service
Just upload the contents of the build directory to your web host, and you're live.
Taking Your Content With You
Your posts are just Markdown files. Even if you decide to switch to a different platform later, you already have your content in the most portable format possible.
That's the beauty of keeping things simple.
