• One of the greatest user interface disasters in history

  Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc. Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Which platform for occasional blog posts?

  An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization. Source: 12 months ago

• ActivityPub server that can run on Docker with external db?

  And since you've mentioned you want to write a blog, take a look at WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Writefreely

  I'm not sure what you've tried to install, but WriteFreely is Open Source and thus free of charge. There is commercial hosting of it, eg. write.as, but with those you don't have to worry about installing it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Newbie Question

  Instead of joining a Mastodon server, have you considered joining a write.freely server? Write.freely is a decentralized platform for writers that integrates the ActivityPub protocol, so anyone in the Fediverse can interact with your posts. This may be more well suited for your needs, although if you still want to join a Mastodon server there are many good answers in this thread. Source: about 1 year ago

• Soupault: A static website management tool

  Also php driven https://getgrav.org has a webui admin panel which can replace it's CLI admin tool chain. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom

  I took a more traditional approach, focusing on something that's "good enough", which in my case was a cheap VPS and an install of Grav: https://getgrav.org/ Some optional customization for page templates/fonts/CSS, some CI so I can build and deploy it inside of a Docker container, Matomo for analytics that respect privacy (which I already use elsewhere) and some additional web server configuration to hide... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Is it possible to convert a WordPress site into a static site that can still be easily edited?

  I'd check out Grav. https://getgrav.org/. Source: 11 months ago

  Also, there is a CMS called Grav. Both Gravity and Grav use a very similar (but not identical) font for their logo. Source: 11 months ago
