Creating a blog on your site: free options to consider
Creating a blog on your site: free options to consider
At a glance
The community member is looking for recommendations for creating a blog on their site, preferring a free option. They have considered Ghost, Hashnode, and Hygraph, but find Hygraph to be complicated. They wonder if Baserow or Airtable could be a solution for typing out blog posts in Notion and connecting them.
In the comments, another community member suggests that the best free option for blogging would be something based on markdown files, with an API layer to provide listings and pages. They mention that a Markdown Embed component could be used to fetch and render markdown content, but the listings and pages functionality is still missing.
Another community member says that Baserow might be a good option, as they believe it has developed the ability to add images to rich text, though this feature has not been launched yet. They also note that there has been recent activity on the issue.
Finally, a community member expresses doubts about Notion as a blogging platform, and says that Coda, a Notion alternative, is closer but still has some issues.
on another note. looking for recommendations for creating a blog on my site. i know ghost is probably the simplest but im looking for a free option. ive gone over the headless cms options on the website. looking at hashnode rn and i just watched the hygraph tutorial and it seems complicated but ill follow that vid step by step if i have to. it sucks i cant just type these out in notion and connect it.. unless baserow or airtable is capable of that
Baserow might be really close. I think they developed the ability to add images to rich text but hasnt been launched yet. That was 7 months ago though there was activity on the issue 3 weeks ago https://gitlab.com/baserow/baserow/-/issues/2505
