I’ve been using Wordpress for some time and… the experience was terrible.
I thought of creating a phoenix blog, powered by git repo, containing markdown files, when we decided to have a blog for the Sofia University course. But also wanted to have my own…
So it turned into a blog engine (Blogit from above), which was/is driven by my ideas of what a tech blog should be. And I wanted to be very extensible/customizable. The effort to deploy and support it should be done by the person forking it, so it is very developer-oriented thingy.
I think it is related to personal preferences, but as @Nicd said : it’s about running my site on my own way, and if somebody forks it, they will run their site their own way.
Many people would prefer platform like medium or dev.io, but there will be a few who’ll want something similar to the above solutions.
So thank you @AstonJ for listing them, also thank you for helping me find my way in this forum.
Cheers to @Nicd and @tyro too, I’ll check Sceopa and Mebe too!
