Ghost + Gumroad (selling products) would be a decent alternative.

Other options are to go with static site generators like Middleman or Hugo for your blog and setting up a shop on Shopify or Sellfy.

As a side note, I have open sourced the code [1] for my shop/blog that is running at https://www.authenticpixels.com. It is written in Elixir/Phoenix.

Thanks!

I have tried to reduce the JS & CSS being used on the page. I've only included the grid and navbar components from Bootstrap's CSS framework and there is pretty minimal JS involved.

I have used Turbolinks to replace the <body> tag on each request via ajax.

Ghost runs on express for those interested, so its very easy to extend if need be
