Ask HN: What stack is your personal blog built on?

I have an identical setup to this, painless to deploy updates/blog posts and zero cost.

I was previously using Jekyll, but moved over to Gatsby a few months ago and have enjoyed the built-in features of Gatsby and it’s surrounding ecosystem so far.

I have also considered integrating a git based CMS like Netlify CMS, but because it’s so easy to make new blog posts with just a git commit and a push I haven’t taken the time to change the workflow.

I like using the Netlify CMS because:

- I don't need to think about filenames

- It gives me a nice preview

- I can edit markdown as either plain text or rich text, and switch between them with a toggle

- (Most important) I don't need to worry about whether I've properly filled in the 'frontmatter' section at the top of the file

The format of the frontmatter is indicated to Netlify CMS by the existence of a simple config file in your repo. So it should be easy to give it a try if you want:
