Advent of blogging in 2024
I had a couple of approaches to start blogging. I was trying to utilise different platforms such as WordPress, Ghost, Medium, dev.to or static site generator based approach (jekyll, hugo). For all of these ways I felt that there were too much friction around writing and blogging. Either there were too many features to configure and utilise or it was really hard to make a blog look and feel how I wanted to be. It was bothering me that I just want some simple plain text with a little bit of magic to glue it and serve. Finally I've discovered Bear blog. It is really simplistic and minimal. I would even describe it a little bit brutalist and raw in its design - which I really enjoy. I hope that Bear will help me with making blogging my daily routine.
