Ask HN: Wordpress.com alternatives?

3 pointsforevernoob2 comments

Just tried to make a WordPress.com page after this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38426116

The (new?) WordPress.com editor feels incredibly frustrating to use. It's slow and bloated (on Firefox at least) and I can't seem for the life of me figure out how to delete initial posts.

I remember working with WP and it being a much nicer experience. I can't imagine editing and publishing stuff on this platform.

I just want a simple, free, managed hosted blog that accepts Markdown / CommonMark (preferably with codeblock syntax highlighting) with an RSS feed.

Thanks.
