What does your blogging stack look like?

This is the stack I use to publish my blog -- michaelsoolee.com

• Writing: Vim, more specifically with Goyo and Limelight for a focused, minimal writing experience.

• Publishing: I use Jekyll which is versioned on Github and hosted on Netlify.

• Promotion: I do a mix between Twitter, my own newsletter and more recently trying to create complimentary YouTube videos about the content.

The stack that I use to publish my blogs is -- ruttl blog

• Writing: Notion has been very useful at drafting and writing ideas properly

• Publishing: I use WordPress to publish and manage the blogposts

• Promotion: Usually, I promote blogs through the social media handles of ruttl in order to make people aware about our beta testing stage

(I am looking for passionate users who can help me optimize the platform further before the official launch)

• I write all my articles in Notion. A great feature that I can copy the text as markdown.
• My blog is powered by Jekyll, which is hosted on Github. I'm a huge fan of Jekyll. The page is incredibly fast and secure (since it's static). Plus adding new content is easy as I just have to create a new markdown file and commit it to Github.
• I primarily promote my stuff on Twitter.

I'm nothing close to a pro blogger, but I am practicing my copywriting skills :)

• Writing/ content - Notion
• Publishing - Substack / LinkedIn / Indie Hackers
• Distribution - Some content will be circulated via Buffer on social media

Website - Webflow
Writing - Roam/Notion
Distribution - Reddit, Newsletter, FB, Twitter, Medium, LinkedIn, Substack
Misc - ProWritingAid
Form - ConvertKit
Connector - Zapier

I am obsessed with Grammarly Pro. Totally worth the money. I do all my writing directly in Grammarly for blogs. For publishing I’m using my own static site (contentful + nextjs). For seo research I’m using Neil Patel’s Ubersuggest. I think I need to get into posting on Medium as well. @neoevo, has that worked for you?

My stack is pretty simple:

• Writing, content creation and organization: Google Docs
• Publishing: Blogger
• Promotion: IFTTT (a simple app that tweets my posts)

Wow, it's amazing to see such a diverse landscape of stacks that you all are using for blogging!

I thought for sure that there would be 2-3 tools/apps that would be universal across the board, but instead there's a wide range of things that are being used, and I think that is pretty awesome.

• Writing/content creation/organization

I use Sublime Text 3 to simply create Markdown files. Everything gets hosted in GitHub (which allows me to do an online editing as well).

• Publishing

I use Jekyll static site generator. I wrote in detail about my migration from Wordpress.

• Promotion

I write a lot about Ruby which I can self post to rubyflow.com and Elixir which I can self post to elixirstatus.com. As a Fedora developer, I can also send my feed to Fedora Planet aggregator. Other than that I simply share on Twitter or to a relevant Reddit group.

Hey neoevo, good question, I think your blogging stack is one of the most important things a blogger can have.

• Writing: I just mainly write directly in WordPress using the Classical Editor or Elementor (for more visually oriented guides). I write ideas down in Notion. Before I used Evernote for this, but I like the interface of Notion more and the different ways you can structure your notes.
• Publishing: Own website (using WordPress) - https://chatimize.com
• Promotion: I use Hootsuite and Buffer to promote my blogs around differrent platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). Somestimes I write chatbot software reviews and then I also post manually in the respective Facebook groups. Also, I use ActiveCampaign for my newsletters. Used MailChimp before, but ActiveCampaign is so much better, easier to integrate and has soo many options.

Other things that I use:

• Grammarly, to automatically check my grammar (Free version) - Big recommendation!
• TodoIst, to handle everything I do on a day. I really love that you can automatically integrate it with your Google Calendar and with Gmail. In Gmail, with every mail you have a "TodoIst icon" and if you click on that, it will be automatically added to your to do list (really useful!)
• Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator - to create and edit my pictures I put on my website or other channels (Instagram mainly)

For writing I generally start out with a simple text file. Once I'm happy with that draft I'll pop it into Hemmingway App or Grammarly to edit (and check my grammar). Once I'm happy with it, I'll publish.

My personal blog https://herman.bearblog.dev is (as the url implies) using https://bearblog.dev (of which I am also the creator).

I'm writing everything in vim.

My site is a combination of static and ssr using Next.js and next-mdx-remote, which allow me to build the pages statically but have dynamic features like search on the client.

Everything is hosted at Vercel.

Hi, thanks for the interesting question, I'm learning a lot from the answers. My stack for https://thedailymetrics.com/blog:

• Writing: Notion or Visual Studio, using Markdown
• Publishing: Gridsome hosted on Netlify. Each post is a Markdown file. After using Wordpress for many years, Gridsome feels so much lighter, it's great. It's true that many features (plugins) are still missing but I guess it's a question of time.

Writing: It depends, either as a GitHub Gist or directly in WordPress
Publishing: WordPress
Promotion: Twitter, Xing

My blogging stack is quite simple

• Website/Publishing: Squarespace. I'm planning to test Webflow soon
• Writing: Google docs
• Planning contents: Google Docs and Airtable. I saw many professionals use Google Sheets to prep contents for a whole month (I plan to do that soon)
• Grammarly, Ginger to scan for grammatical mistakes
• Distribution/Promotion: personal blog, IH, Linkedin, Instagram. Thinking of Reddit

I'm enjoying my setup at the moment:

• Writing on Notion
• Publishing on a static site built with NextJS
• Promote on indiehackers and Twitter

Quit simple and easy one:

• Writing content --> Notion
• Publishing --> Hugo Static Site Gen
