Should I make a new blog platform?
I am fascinated by BearBlog and tempted to build a similar but a bit different (and better?) blog platform. And Karpathy just made it an even stronger case with this tweet.
Someone asked and ideal features of a blog would be, according to him:
- a WYSIWYG markdown++ editor
- support for math, code, images, etc. (Obsidian style)
- basic features like SEO, feed, newsletter, custom domains, analytics, media, etc.
- discovery feature (much like Bear blog style)
- easy to leave the platform with all data in simple formats
"I mean... basically I want Bear but richer authoring interface that looks a lot more similar to Obsidian, instead of just a legacy plain textbox."
Yes, that's his last line.
I am sure that I am very tempted to and can actually build such a platform but not very sure about the tech stacks to make the code maintainable. Because if I start, it should be a long-term project that keeps running for years to come, maybe even till I live or maybe even after that.
I did take a look at the Bear Architecture and it's good. So... here, only my limited knowledge of databases, Django, maintainable code, etc. is holding me back.
Absolutely nothing else.
