How Would You Build a SaaS Blog Today? (Ghost, WordPress, MDX?)

We're planning our new SaaS blog and could use some advice on the tech stack.

What's the best way to build a blog these days for good SEO and an easy workflow for writers?

We're debating between a CMS (like Ghost/WordPress), building it directly into our app, or a simple static site (MDX). How did you build yours? Curious to hear what you'd recommend!

Also, for early-stage SaaS products still in MVP phase, what setup would you recommend to keep things simple but still SEO-friendly? Is it better to start scrappy with MDX or Notion + super.so-style setups, or go straight for a Headless CMS if we plan to scale content quickly?

Is Notion Database a Good Fit for CMS?

I'm curious can Notion's database be used effectively as a CMS for websites?

For example, managing content for an e-commerce site or a news/blog platform.

What do you think the future looks like for developers when it comes to AI?

ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.

It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
