Ask HN: Best static website for blogging

2 points by AHOHA 11y ago ↗ HN

I'm seeking the best advise for the best static-based blogging platform. I tried Jykell, Hugo, Octopress and similar ones, and they work great unless you come to the part when you can't ( or not as easy ) to blog on the go, and you should use your laptop for that purpose.

Use an online editor like cloud9 and github - see https://docs.c9.io/v1.0/docs/jekyll .

Thank you. however, when it comes to upload and/or manage pictures (or other assets ) to github, it won't work. only text editing.

You could host these images temporarily on other websites.

You can have a look at;

Any reason why it has to be static?

I run a Ghost[1] blog from my iPhone using the Ghost admin editor + SSH for tweaking config files/css and SFTP for uploading assets.

Alternatively, you can just use Journey[2]--Ghost ported from Node.JS to Golang and packaged into single binaries you can run on OS X, Linux or even Windows. It even serves itself over https if required.
