But I care more about publishing. The truth is simple: if the choice is between a perfect platform and a published post, I pick the post.
I went with Write.as for similar reasons, i.e. focusing on frictionless writing rather than setup and customization.

@amoroso Moving from WriteFreely to Eleventy increased friction for me. I can no longer publish or edit a blog post from my phone and I miss that.
That said, I still appreciate the markdown input format of Eleventy and using git for branches etc. I also have more confidence that I won't lose posts if something goes wrong.
I think this trade-off between friction and features is ok for me, but it needs to be part of a conscious decision when choosing a blog platform.

@underlap Giving up on mobile posting may not be such a big deal, especially if posting frequency is low. Still, static site generators are too much for me.
