Hacker News Reader

hosted is good but i require the option to easily host it myself (like github pages).

My content is my life and I want it to be around in 40 years. Even if facebook bans my account for a TOS violation where they changed the terms out from under me. Even if google hands my account to law enforcement because another country's government doesn't agree with my free speech.

I need to own my content.

You can export your posts at any time with Silvrback. You have full ownership. That's why I'm making it a paid solution, otherwise there would be the risk of your data being sold to advertisers.

it needs to be trivial to rehost. I've been through a blog content migration before, it was difficult enough that I didn't bother to migrate a portion of my data.

In what way is a paid membership going to stop you from selling our data?

So, as long as you have means to export the data, you're satisfied with this product?
