Moving to Hashnode

Few months ago I thought it would be a good idea to have a blog and control every single bit of it. Hosting, code and everything. I was thinking it would be great to have static HTML+CSS. It is hosted by Cloudflare for free. What could go wrong? I don’t know what I was thinking. But since I work remotely now I don’t commute. Commute time is 0. But I still want to write. Current setup limits me big time. So I thought it would be better to go for a hosted solution. So I tried Substack and Hashnode. I decided to got with the later.

It’s not like free hosting is all sunshine and rainbows though. It's much heavier than hand crafted HTML. It's noticeable on slow mobile connections. Even worse my writing style will be changing. I can’t publish content that’s outside of their terms of service. So f-bombs will be only available on wayback machine. I don’t want to find the hard way it’s not allowed. I’ll just drop fish bombs from now on. But I’d be dumb as a jellyfish to not use Hashnode. I can use pictures. I can show off my loaf.

Or I can put here a completely different loaf that I’ve made.

You can clearly see it is useful. Right now I have half written draft of an article where pictures are a must. Because otherwise people would have no idea what the hell I’m talking about. It has code highlighting and easy backup to GitHub. I can just move away any time, keep my domain and host there all the garbage I’ve written somewhere else.

Good deal right?
