What about bash?

Thank you! :-) I went with Planka for now. We’ll see how well it works. But I like it so far! :-D

Thank YOU! :-)

Framasoft are incredible folks. I just did an interview with Booteille yesterday!

Planka looks beautiful. I have a friend that recommended this as well. GOnna try out Planka.

Thank you for the link. Just trying to spark conversation. :-) Do you have any specific experiences with any of them that you like?

Thank you! Do you recommend one over the other? or you’ve used them both and like them both equally?

That’s because it is another bubble. They’re all bubbles IMO. Since the boom of the internet they’ve all been scrambling from one fools gold rush to the next. Crypto, nft, metaverse, AI. Heel even social media that was given freely isn’t returning the expected investments and that’s why they’re all enshitiffying.

I’m not doing a publishing platform really. And I can’t seem to get email going. I’ve tried with MailerSend and while I know I can send email, through swaks, Ghost just won’t. Someone told me it only uses MailGun, which I attempted to set up and after 2 days the DNS verification didn’t go through, even though I konw for a fact it was there. And at this point I really don’t want lock in to a specific service if that’s true.

That looks really nice! Thank you for the recommendation. Still trying to figure out what to use. :-)

Thank you! I shall look into that!

I’m a sysadmin by trade, I just don’t know the HTML and CSS stuff. :-D Thank you very much for the detail response though! That’s great for folks to find and learn! :-)

Yup, heard of them, used them very briefly. I think it’s time to give it a try again! :-D Thank you!

Oh another interesting one! I shall check into that! Thank you! :-D

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look into the themes! :-)

Yes! I can. I’m just TERRIBLE with Dev Stuff and not a fan either. lol But if you have recommends on how to host something like that and make it look ince, I’m all for hearing it! :-)

This is excellently well thought out post and some GREAT questions! I’ll have to go through this more. I’m definitely planning on Self Hosting via Hetzner, I expect it to be static. I don’t honestly expect much traffic, but who the hell knows. :-D I don’t think I’ll need forums as I have the Fediverse! :-D

I’ve heard of Hugo, I’ll check into this one!

This sounds massively interesting! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I’ll look into this! Thank you!

Aral and I have spoken before! Aral used to stream on Owncast where I first met him, do you still do those streams Aral? :-)

Do you think Kitten would be a good use case for BT Free dot org?
