Honestly I really appreciate tools like this exist but I'll probably keep using Medium out of laziness. I don't want to have to worry about maintaining my own blog and I'm cheap so I don't really want to pay for hosted Ghost/Wordpress since I'm not trying to make money off of my infrequent dumb blog posts. The cheapest Ghost plan is $29/mo :(

One of the benefits of static sites like those: They don't need continuous maintenance like e.g. WP would.

Ghost is pretty easy to set up on a $5/month Linode box, for what it's worth. That's where I host mine. Definitely took longer than entering a couple forms on Medium, but if you consider both as a % of time you'd spend writing, it shrinks to effectively nothing pretty quickly.

You can always use a Github Page. As long as you have a GH account, it will host the page for you.

This tool migrates to netlify, not Ghost/Wordpress. Netlify is free for 100GB of bandwidth.
