I know you might be looking for something more DIY, but this simple service has been really refreshing to me: https://bearblog.dev/

It’s so simple and easy. If you want to focus on content instead of tinkering with your blog endlessly (like I have done several times), this is a great option.

I've seen a few different Bear Blog blogs, and I think the feature-set would be sufficient. One unlisted requirement of mine is to be able to use a custom domain. GitHub makes this easy, so that's one reason I selected GitHub for the other blog.

Not seeing an option right off bat to do this with Bear Blog, but I will poke around. Thanks!

The custom domain option is there, but is not simple. I have a bear blog on a custom domain :)

More info here: https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/wiki/Custom-domai.... Btw I believe the dev is working on improving this right now.
