A while back I switched from hosted Ghost blog to Jekyll. My content is stored in markdown on GitHub. I publish the site on Netlify. For comments I’m using Disqus and for search Azure search.

I love the simplicity of the setup and the fact that there are no updates I must run to avoid security vulnerabilities or other issues or that I must make regular backups and test if they work. I can rebuild the whole site simply by pushing a commit to the repo. For a blog or a simple site I find SSGs totally worth it.
