Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but can't you already do this with Tumblr, Wordpress or Blogger? They're Free, Open (from his description, I assume it means customizable), and Easy.

Wordpress is extraordinarily clunky. There's a lot of configuration you have to concern yourself with (i.e. plugins, SEO, etc). If you want a custom domain with wordpress there's even more of a hassle.

With Jekyll + GH Pages you have full control of your site with as little complexity as necessary.

> I wanted complete control, so Medium and Svbtle were out.

You could easily argue those other services don't give "complete" control either.
