Ask HN: Best static website for blogging

Any reason why it has to be static?

I run a Ghost[1] blog from my iPhone using the Ghost admin editor + SSH for tweaking config files/css and SFTP for uploading assets.

Alternatively, you can just use Journey[2]--Ghost ported from Node.JS to Golang and packaged into single binaries you can run on OS X, Linux or even Windows. It even serves itself over https if required.

You can have a look at;

https://www.staticgen.com/ and http://gohugo.io/

Use an online editor like cloud9 and github - see https://docs.c9.io/v1.0/docs/jekyll .

Thank you. however, when it comes to upload and/or manage pictures (or other assets ) to github, it won't work. only text editing.
