We're building Xr0 and enjoy
writing about it.
Substack offers great interactivity, but isn't built for
technical writing. It has poor support for code: no syntax
highlighting and the inline code rendering is
jarring.
Plus, we want to manage our blog posts as text files with Git.
Existing static-site generators like Jekyll and Hugo are
powerful but seem to prioritise customisability over writing.
Names like
assets,
layouts,
data,
includes etc.
dominate project folders instead of your actual writing.
There's nothing wrong with this; we just want something
simpler, so we built Hyloblog.

-
Markdown and Git first.

changes to your site.

Concentrate on content.
No custom CSS — pick a theme and start writing.

A few batteries included.
