I had questions about using the Gatsby blogging platform instead of WordPress or Ghost CMS and others, so I thought I would do my full experience and why I chose it in boring detail so that others can benefit from this reference and know in its next guide which platforms to choose and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
I will try to simplify the post in a language that everyone with a simple technical background can understand. Later, if I see a response, I will make a separate post explaining the combinations of Gatsby and Ghost with a technical software explanation start with some.
Introduction
In the last decade, many software platforms have spread that help you build your website, blog or whatever you want to build, and these platforms are keen on your ease of use and guarantee you many plug-ins with one click that will work for you within seconds, and among this software:
Joomla: A popular platform that has spread for some time and then died out in the last five years.
WordPress: A well-known and well-known platform became famous as a blogging platform and later developed to serve a broader field, such as electronic stores and others.
Many have disappeared, but they all flow into one stream, which is content management. They provide a ready-made control panel and pre-installed tools (built-in). All of them require at least hosting with certain specifications to work (some of these platforms provide free hosting with conditions), but we are talking about the platform you host yourself.
With the tremendous development of the web, these platforms have expanded to serve larger areas such as WordPress, turning from a blogging platform to a software platform that builds for you any site you want and expanded its functions. The person who wants to build his blog becomes lost amidst complete chaos of plug-ins, tools and explanations that do not interest him!
Bloggers are looking for alternative software that is easy to use and serves a specific purpose in itself. More than that, it does not need all the features that WordPress contains. It is also interested in the ease of use experience. With simple clicks, pages or ready-made codes are published for it, which later appeared platforms that received great admiration and use by bloggers and even companies that You want to build a network of newsletters or updates, including the Ghost CMS platform, and then catch up with Gatsby to do the same thing, although each has a different storyline.
