Ask HN: Best platform for blog+store+members area
I've done WordPress and Drupal sites before so I know they would work. Not that I'm against PHP but I've been liking Python and Nodejs lately. But not sure there's a choice that will work for me, especially when it comes to easy hosting and easy maintenance compared to php solutions.
I've dabbled with Ghost (Nodejs blogging platform). Done a number of things with Python/Flask. Neither seems up to handling all three functions I want - blog, store, members' area. Maybe I should I go with Django?
Or should I go with a hosted solution like Shopify? I've been burned by nearly every 3rd party service I've ever relied on in the past (Flickr, Blogger, several others) by changes in TOS or complaints by competitors or grumpy visitors. So I'm more inclined to self host.
Thankful for any recommendations and discussion on this.
