Blogging framework for SaaS
What is a good blogging framework I can run on my Saas site at blog.[mysaas].com ? Since I run nodejs/mongo for other things, it would be great to have a nodejs based one.
It needs to support multiple languages and allow google to crawl the content (for SEO).
What's the SEO research saying on subdomain vs subdirectory e.g. example.com/some-keyword/i-need-to-tell-you-about-something
I wrote my own two-models-five-views blog for budget-fox.com uses markdown and has no thrills whatsoever.
As far as I know subdomains are still treated as different domains while subdirectories are treated as the same domain. So if you have your blog at blog.domain.com instead of domain.com/blog you will miss out on a lot of backlinks and content for your main website. Most people should see better results using a subdirectory instead
Gatsby.js could work. It uses React. It's similar to Jekyll, but faster and prettier imo. Great theme here that I use: https://github.com/alxshelepenok/gatsby-starter-lumen
Ghost fits your needs.
We use Jekyll and host on Github pages. And then forestry for wsywig cms. Im also a designer so this setup makes it easy. blog.userlook.co
Ghost is using Node.js/Express/Ember. I'm using it for my blog and it should be fine for your needs. I'm not sure what do you mean by multiple languages support, ability to translate posts?
I second Ghost. You can easily deploy it on Digital Ocean with a one-click install and everything is setup for you including SSL.
Try UserCV.com blogging platform.

I run WP on several sites. But for this specific case, we would like to host it on our server and do not want to deal with PHP/SQL.
Take a look at the Azartiz Blog app. It's lightweight, easy to setup (takes less than 5 minutes) and easy to modify.
