Kit Fach · Answer

@maciej_cupial yeah I had the same issue for blogging, and just overall frustration with wordpress UX in general. Right now to solve that I use wizrd.org which I co-founded to generate a blog that passses core web vitals and gets high speed scores, and have a focus on super simple UX.

Zadiq · Answer

@maciej_cupial Yeah, most WordPress theme are quite bloated, and you need a few plugins to optimize and speed up your site. And in some cases, the plugins actually do the opposite of what they are meant to.

Sofya Narbut · Answer

I use medium and I would love to have tools to be able to promote my content... Seems impossible.

WordPress - has everything but too complicated and overwhelming

Ghost - needs better footnotes, option to add images inside toggles, and alternate payment option coz Stripe isn't available in my country

Tumblr - needs a better editor. It's adopting Gutenberg, but it's very clunky. Tumblr features (like liking posts and sending asks) also break when using a custom domain

Zadiq · Answer

@sofya_narbut Does that include promoting on social media, and PPC adverts?

Ana · Answer
