hi lovely #photography nerds 👋

what are y’all using for your photography #blogging / websites?

I’m about to put together a site for my wife’s photo blogging & I’m looking to see if there are any viable alternatives to Wordpress 🤞

needs to have / be:

– self-hostable

– a way to draft blog posts / articles that’s suitable for a non-computer-toucher (WYSIWIG preferred, but this doesn’t have to live on the web server)

– ability to review drafts & publish them (make them live on the site)

– good photo / media management tools

– ability to create galleries of photos

– anything else you consider essential that I haven’t listed 🙃

nice to have:

– some sort of theming capability

– ability to create galleries based on tags or other categorisation

– import a subset of EXIF data & expose it in various ways e.g. image captions, group into galleries, etc.

– ability to generate a static site that doesn’t rely on any external links (no Bootstrap JS, no Google fonts, etc.)

– anything else useful that I haven’t thought of 🙃
