Does anyone have recommendation for a fairly basic blog system with (some of) these characteristics:
- can be hosted as GitHub Pages
- simple-ish to setup and to create posts
- an RSS feed would be very nice

I came across this jekyll-based tutorial, and it seems to check all my boxes:

@justvanrossum Eleventy reminds me of Robofont in that it doesn’t force you to do things a certain way or make a lot of assumptions. Very easily extensible and lots of great plugins. I just added RSS to my site and it was very simple.

My site is connected to a git repo and it’s hosted by Netlify on their free tier, works great

@cjtype I went through the 11ty "base blog" demo and I got it working in a few minutes, with a new blog post. I like it very much so far.
