Does anyone use Micro.blog? I'm still in my apparently endless consideration of WordPress alternatives.

I will continue to do this until I finally learn how/dedicate full time to write my own site from scratch.

Might be more of an "if" than a "when," but the desire is very strong.

What about spinning up a static site generator, something like Hugo? You won't need to write everything from scratch, yet you can add themes and such.

Second the #ssg suggestion. There are some #Indieweb examples using #ActivityPub integrations within static pages. So transgressive!

@menelion Bearing in mind that micro.blog is a SSG on top of Hugo, you get a lot of benefits by paying to let them take care of it all.

@etp My only concern is that I cannot try before paying. I need good accessibility of every solution I pay for, so I don't really want to pay for the thing I don't know the accessibility of.

@menelion @etp It appears to offer a 10-day free trial, but without signing up, I don't know whether it charges then refunds or what
