Automattic will stop contributing to WordPress after reaching 45 hours a week, “aligning” its contributions to those by WP Engine, and because the lawsuit is taking up their resources.

    Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I’m not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I’ll restart blogging one day), but I’m not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don’t have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

    What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

      It really depends what you’re doing. If it’s really “only” blogging I’ve seen a lot of blogs using Ghost. Hugo is more of a “simpler” static site generator.

      I’ve been trying out Grav for a while and it’s pretty cool. Relatively easy to self-host.
