Building this Blog

Building a digital blog should not be, theoretically, too hard to accomplish. Expecially now, in 2022, with all the many dedicated platforms and services that have established themselves over time in the digital blogging department.
As someone who does Frontend Development for a living, my list of technical choices is even more generous. I am able, theoretically, to build a web application using just the magic trio of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Just in case I don't feel like going full vanilla, there are superior levels of abstractions, such as, for example, the ReactJS, tailwindcss and TypeScript combination. Of course, one level of abstraction above, the list continues with the likes of GatsbyJS or NextJS. And just in case I don't want to bother with coding at all, I can go full techless with solutions such as WordPress, MailChimp, Canva, or something equivalent. The last list of services can also provide support for hosting and domain registration, at a cost, obviously.
So, time to choose one technology stack and ... start writing already?
