Automattic will stop contributing to WordPress after reaching 45 hours a week, “aligning” its contributions to those by WP Engine, and because the lawsuit is taking up their resources.

    Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I’m not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I’ll restart blogging one day), but I’m not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don’t have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

    What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

    Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don’t really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.

      I’ve been trying out Grav for a while and it’s pretty cool. Relatively easy to self-host.

      It really depends what you’re doing. If it’s really “only” blogging I’ve seen a lot of blogs using Ghost. Hugo is more of a “simpler” static site generator.
