Trying to take content seriously — what’s your blog setup?

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I’m working on a new product called Elysi, and for the first time, I’ve decided to build my own landing page and marketing sites instead of using a no-code builder. I wanted full control over the landing page this time, and I’m pretty happy with that choice — except now I’m stuck figuring out the blog side of things.

In the past, I’ve always leaned on platforms with built-in editors and CMS tools, which made publishing content easy (or at least easy enough to pretend I’d get around to it). But now, I’m actually trying to take content marketing seriously — and here’s the problem:

I need a writing and publishing flow that doesn’t make me want to procrastinate forever.

My dream experience:

• Open a nice, web-based editor

• Write my post

• Click “Publish”

• ✅ Done. No git, no Markdown gymnastics, no mental overhead.

I’ve found that when writing feels like a chore, I just… don’t do it. But if the experience is smooth and kind of enjoyable, I might actually stick with it this time.

So I’m turning to the community:

If you’ve built your own site, how are you handling your blog?

• Headless CMS? (Notion, etc.)

• Custom solution?

• Something I’ve never heard of that feels like magic?

• Or did you just say “screw it” and go back to Medium? (And does this give you the same SEO)

I’d love to hear what’s worked for you (or what hasn’t). Tools, stacks, even mistakes — all welcome!

Thanks 🙌
