“One day, Twitter and other publishing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Medium will indeed die, like so many sites before them. And every time this happens, we lose most of the content we created and with it a fair amount of our collective cultural history.”

@mathieuhuot …do it! 😁 It’s a lot of fun to build your site. Try to make it as easy and convenient for yourself to publish. And if it’s “only” an occasional thought, a little observation, or something you learned, that’s just fine. Enjoy making stuff. Good luck! 🤗

And in case you’re not sure about what to use: both @eleventy and @getkirby are fantastic. I use CraftCMS for my site and enjoy it a lot. But WordPress would do the job as well. 😉

@matthiasott Hey, thanks for your support! I'll definitely make it my 2023 project. I will most likely go with @eleventy as I'm quite familiar with it and probably try this simple CMS https://frontmatter.codes/. We'll see how it goes! 😊
