• Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform

  There's also hexo [1]. I saw that on Matt Klein's website [2] and the theme looked pretty clean. [1] https://hexo.io [2] https://mattklein123.dev/2020/03/08/2020-03-07-new-website/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Hexo, WebFinger and better discoverability

  In my case, the latter is not possible because this blog is a static site, generated via Hexo and hosted on GitHub. It simply lacks a modifiable active server component. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Nuxt 3 - showcase your sites

  Previously I've used Nuxt2 and even sooner - hexo.io. Source: over 1 year ago

• Building a static blog using Jekyll & Strapi

  To make their creation easier, numerous open-source static websites generators are available: Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Hexo, etc. Most of the time, the content is managed through static (ideally Markdown) files or a Content API. Then, the generator requests the content, injects it in templates defined by the developer and generates a bunch of HTML files. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Deploy your blog via let.sh

  There are also many alternatives for selecting Static-Side Generating blog framework such as Hexo, Gatsby, Next.js (more details here). We will pick Hexo as our framework because it is a fast, simple & powerful blog framework. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Windows Defender is enough, if you harden it

  Hello Joe_Boogz, Blog is using Hexo (https://hexo.io/) and a little modified Cactus theme (https://probberechts.github.io/hexo-theme-cactus/). If some of the websites looks interesting to you and you would like how they are built you can use Wappalyzer (https://www.wappalyzer.com/lookup/0ut3r.space). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Freelancers: What Are You Making (Ballpark)

  How do you manage the content? Or does the customer contact you and you edit the static sites yourself? I'm thinking about using hexo.io (made lots of great experiences with that) and the admin-plugin, so I can offer possible clients that they can edit the content themself, without needing me and without losing page speed.

• A personal blog with articles&videos, which tech stack do you recommend?

  I have personally used hexo[1] successuccessfully in th epast and would recommend it. Though any ssg, likd zola[2], should be enough. If youyou're comfortcomfortable writing html directly it will also suffice. Make a list of what you need (posts, kmages, videos , comments) and compare SSGs[3].

• If I was going to create my own blog website, what would be the easiest way to publish new blog posts?

  I recently created my static blog site using hexo.io. It’s command line driven and Markdown based. One comnand to add a new Markdown file, one to build, one to deploy to DreamHost. Source: over 2 years ago

• Hosting your blog on AWS

  When I bootstrapped my first blog, I picked Hexo, it's an open source project, powered by NodeJS. I had a quick look at it, and it ticked all my boxes: Markdown, statically generated pages and a ton of ready-to-use Themes. The statically generated pages will be important later on, so hang in there. Hexo worked great, 10/10 would recommend. The blog is still up today with zero maintenance. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Best self hosted micro blog?

  What's good about Hugo is really fast build times, previously I used both hexo.io and https://vuepress.vuejs.org/ but while vuepress is nice to start with it's nearly impossible to finish the website due to lack of features. Hexo is also nice but their templating language is not always intuitive (my hexo based website: https://webhookrelay.com/). Source: over 2 years ago

• Best way to make a blog website with emacs org mode?

  I used to use hexo with hexo-renderer-org, but at some point I started getting too many issues. Can't remember details right now. It was something with the hexo-renderer-org package. Source: over 2 years ago

• Static site generators to watch in 2021

  No you're absolutely right -- these are all headless CMSes, I did not actually complete the JAMstack, only the wrong piece -- I don't know what I was thinking, don't know what made me zoom in on CMSes so much, guess I think of them as more important than the front-end in a JAMstack. As recompense, some lesser known options for the frontend part of the JAMstack that weren't mentioned in the original post: -... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Creating a minimalist blog with Jekyll Now

  I ended up picking hexo[0], as the hexo admin plugin[1] provides a nice localhost CMS/editor that supports image pasting, tag editing etc (could be hosted online too for remote/mobile access, but wouldn't be truly static/server-less at that point).
