Unfortunately my code examples are not leet enough to fit in a Tweet.
I dislike medium but I also worry that if too many people are reinventing their blog platform, aren't we risking low quality non-scrapable content?
Is there a blogging platform that you just have to fill in the blanks and get RSS, accessible content with perhaps a very basic gui and code editor for posts?
Ghost[0]. Seriously, from a user perspective, it doesn't get any simpler than that. You fill a few variables in settings, you write, that's it.
I've toyed around with WordPress, Jekyll, Hugo, etc etc and spent more time making shit work as I want it to than I did actually writing things. Ghost is amazing and I won't look for anything else for a long time.
Google's Blogger still works pretty well for me although I don't use it a lot these days. (Most of my professional writing is published on platforms with editors and I sort of got out of writing random more personal musings--yes, probably in part because Twitter.)
I even fired up a hosted Wordpress site a few years ago but then never did much with it so I shut it down.
