As said before, I am working on an review of Bear Blog.
The project says about itself:
A privacy-first, no-nonsense, super-fast blogging platform No trackers, no javascript, no stylesheets. Just your words. — https://bearblog.dev/
and further:
- Looks great on any device
- Tiny (~2.7kb), optimized, and awesome pages
- No trackers, ads, or scripts
- Seconds to sign up
- Connect your custom domain
- Free themes
- RSS & Atom feeds
- Built to last forever* — https://bearblog.dev/
Getting started
Creating an account
You need to create an account first. Therefore, you need to provide an (valid) email address and (obviously) a password.
When you sign up, you can choos a free *.bearblog.dev subdomain, a title of your site and first homepage text. Don’t worry, you can change all this later.
As a last step, click the link in the confirmation email and you’re done!
Writing your first content
Log in the first time now! You will see your dashboard, showing your blogs and some links with account settings. We will look to these later, but first choose your blog you created before.
You now will see your post main menu.
You can edit the text in the box (supporting Markdown).
Click the Publish button to publish your text, and then view it!
(Either by clicking on the View button, or go to the previously created subdomain)
You have now created your first home page!
In the next part we’ll create nav links and posts.
