Easy to understand, easy to use, loads fast, doesn't distract you from the actual act of publishing blog posts (which we're all here for).
Perfect. Exactly how the World Wide Web should be.
perfect balance between simplicity and customization. those who just want to write could just use existing CSS themes and simple Markdown. those who know how to code and want customization - could modify or create custom CSS.
want to connect with other people there and to be in local feed? you can do it. want to make the blog ~anonymous and invisible? you can do it too.
free functionality is more than enough for personal use. and if one needs more - price for paid version is reasonable, plus it has regional variations!
and one of the most important things: a promise of sustainability. it's a promise, yeah, but it seems to be one of the creator's principles about good web. i kinda believe it.
lightweight, incredibly fast loading times. if you require high quality image uploads/hosting, though, consider other platforms.
An awesome blogging platform for those who are looking for a minimalist and lightweight solution built on open source software. The free tier is really great while the paid tier obviously brings new feature that are worth the price ! But it's not for every one, if you like Markdown and minimalist tech you would like it.
I host my french speaking blog on Bear Blog !
By far the easiest way to blog and cheap.
Nah! Not~e~-worthy.
Herman may have had a very specific use case. If yours matches his, then you may find this useful.
Of course, full kudos to Herman for offering it up for free. 3 cheers!!!
You also can insert images, not only text.
don't understand how having to register an account for a blog hosting and creating tool is a downside and it's pretty clearly communicated what the product is and is not.
