Best Blogging Platform for Developers

In 2023 there are many options for what to use as a blogging platform. As is common in other areas of software development, the best tool depends on what your requirements are.

Considerations you should consider before selecting a blogging platform are.

• Do I need an admin panel for non developer editors?
• Do I need a WYSIWYG editor?
• Do I require Markdown support?
• Do I want to maintain a database?
• Do I require syntax highlighting for code support?
• Which frontend frameworks are my team & I familiar with?
• Do I need built in SEO analysis support?
