Oh I’ve tried using this tool but unfortunately it wouldn’t work for some reason. Whenever I clicked on the card to start a new article nothing happened.

Starting your personal blog is definitely the best option, but it’s not always the most convenient. I also have my personal blog and I cross post on the three platforms, but for some and especially for beginners it can be a hassle. Also, as I mentioned there are so costs to take care of which is not something everyone can do.

Tbh I think hashnode can work as a personal blog, even if just in the beginning. It has a lot of options that makes your blog as similar as a personal blog can be.

Oh, in this case, I recommend you check it out again. In the free tier, you can't create new articles but only edit the existing ones. Get into the one that's pinned, remove the whole content and go from there (up to 6000 characters with all code snippets, embeds, and images counted as one). Sorry for the confusion, it's MVP and I could have done a better job explaining this.

R.e. personal blog, I'm planning to write a guide on how to start one easily with GH Pages (if it'll be successful, then I might consider doing something similar for other platforms as well).

Yeah, Hashnode might be nice for beginners, but I feel like it's a bit limited.

Oh I see I didn’t know that. I should check it out again then.

Yea I did a similar tutorial in the blog post I mentioned in the article blog.shahednasser.com/deploy-a-web...

I think GH pages is a good option too
