Moving my home on the web

I have recently been exposed to a bunch of new blogs - Dragoncatcher the blog, JEDDACP.COM and a bunch more. This all started when I read Matt Webb's appearance on People and Blogs. In the section about recommending some other blogs, Matt redirected to his post of 10 recommendations.

I have written about my desire to move away from Ghost because of the inability to modify my theme in the base Ghost pro version earlier.

Owing to this and the fact that summer is around the corner, I am considering moving my blog.

I joined Ghost in 2021 and have been on it since. I like Ghost for most part, but I’ve always had that itch. The great benefit of using Ghost has been the fact that I do not need to worry about the sysadmin stuff. I don’t need to manage the web servers. I don’t need to worry about TLS. I don’t need to worry about email providers. And so on.

I would not have to worry about it after this movement either. I don’t want to host this on a server. I will be using Astro probably, or something similar and hosting the site on GitHub or Cloudflare pages. I don’t care about comments anymore. The only thing that was stopping me from moving was emails, but button down has free emails up to a 100 subscribers, so I’m good there.

I am so excited about this. New things always feel exciting though.

Another reason I feel this would be possible now is because of LLMs. I feel like I could create something while talking to ChatGPT.

More to follow.
