Best platform to create a blog and why?

5
•
I have a personal domain and have never done anything with it besides redirect to my LinkedIn. Should I build a quick website using Next.JS which will host a blog or should I use a no-code builder? Which one if so?

I personally would go with cloud flare hosting. If it is a blog and nothin more you can create md files on your local and publish them with just one deployment.

@jean_gatt https://developers.cloudflare.co... You can even connect your GitHub to cloudflare pages and let it goes live when you push the md files :) I don't have public repo to show but it deployed this https://catquote.pages.dev everytime I've added a new quote.

Bento!! @gumbee definitely exactly what I needed, and you don't have to work with a no-code builder, takes hours... mine is bento.me/ceyguz if you want to see how it's like! Super easy ✨🥳

@gumbee @jean_gatt I think I've read it on their interview, that they plan to have that feature as well but overall they have a comprehensive vision aiming to empower creators 🌈

@jean_gatt If you have some coding experience and are comfortable with using a framework like Next.js, then building a quick website with a blog using that framework can be a great option. With Next.js, you can create a dynamic and interactive website with ease, and you'll have full control over the design and functionality of your site. You can also easily integrate your blog into your site using tools like WordPress or Ghost. On the other hand, if you don't have coding experience or don't want to spend time learning a framework like Next.js, using a no-code builder can be a good option. No-code builders like Wix or Squarespace are user-friendly and require little to no coding knowledge. They offer a variety of templates and customization options, allowing you to create a website quickly and easily. These builders also have blog integration options, so you can add a blog to your website without the need for coding.
