Ask HN: What are you using for blogging?

Curious what the current consensus with regard to blogging (platforms). Is it static renders like Jekyll or Hugo? SaaS like Medium or Substack? Or OS platforms like Ghost or Wordpress?

I have tried to follow Hugo's development but lost track with its constant evolution and addition of features I do not need...therefore for now I follow a simpler path: I keep my data in markdown files and I plan to switch to asciidoctor for good; it's quite old, it's battle-tested, and offers me many options to produce various forms of output; be it HTML, PDF, ePub, etc...

If O'Reilly trusts it to produce its ebooks, then I'm sure it worthy of my time and effort!

I use Zola to generate a couple of different sites, one of them a blog.

I built my own static site generator and host it on github page.
