In terms of simple blogs, I use https://bearblog.dev/

I think your project suits more simple static pages. The competitor is more Notion rather than blogs and static site generators.

Nice work all the same. I think what's really missing is a minimal copy of something like google sites.

I want to be able to create something like my website at http://illabundavillage.com.au but I want it to be faster, not tied to google, and a little easier to edit.

There's a spectrum of flashy sites to single page texts. Many projects should aim to be in various shades of the middle.
