Published research covering publishing, across all three editorial sections. Read each article’s sources, scope and assessment limits before applying its conclusions.
Ghost documents managed publishing versus CLI operation. The README advertising managed maintenance does not establish a particular support contract, backup recovery outcome or current subscription price. This documentation-only review supports a scoped evaluation, not a product test; sources checked 2026-10-22.
Ghost and Hexo are compared for a blog whose team must choose who operates publishing and deployment. Evaluate Ghost when the team is choosing between an operated instance and the documented managed service. Documentation-only, checked 2026-10-22; operating constraints and unequal source scope limit any conclusion.
Consider Bludit for flat-file CMS deployment and trusted proxy configuration when its documented workflow matches the task. The README gives a specific reverse-proxy warning: incorrect client-IP handling can make the login blocklist affect the shared proxy and distort statistics. Documentation-only analysis, checked 2026-10-22; no measured performance or value ranking.
Consider Hexo for Git-oriented blog publishing and plugin ownership when its documented workflow matches the task. A documented deploy command does not establish current support for a chosen host, nor does a large plugin ecosystem validate each extension. Documentation-only analysis, checked 2026-10-22; no measured performance or value ranking.
WriteFreely documents writer-focused publishing and database operations. Minimalist interface and privacy-oriented wording do not establish a verified data-flow guarantee. This documentation-only review supports a scoped evaluation, not a product test; sources checked 2026-10-22.
WriteFreely and Bludit are compared for a small publication choosing an editor and recoverable hosting model. Evaluate WriteFreely for its documented writer-focused organization and separate database choices. Documentation-only, checked 2026-10-22; operating constraints and unequal source scope limit any conclusion.
