        For quite some time, i was thinking of moving from WP to ghost https://ghost.org/ as its only for blogging unlike WP. But still havent decided. I would love to start writing again somethings at least i could keep it as a journal on what I do.

        Regarding something to automatically process, i just saw this plugin, this helps?

              This is a very interesting idea. This would address security concerns with products like Wordpress because you would not have any code to attack. No way to do something like a SQL Injection attack. And even if something was added somehow to the site it would get overwritten. I like where they are going with this.

                You could also allow for the dynamic bits of the app to be hosted internally, and when you make a new post, it just uploads the data to the public site.

                  Seems like that would be very complicated. You would need to write your own tooling for it, I assume, and the static part has to overwrite the whole thing, generally.

                    @scottalanmiller Yeah. But it would be blazing fast (as compared to Wordpress and the like), and could be run from pretty much any web server in existence without having to worry about PHP, and various addons that need to be installed in the system.

                    It wouldn't work for ALL applications... but a large majority of them, I think it could do well.

                    Edit: As somebody else mentioned, a plugin for this in Wordpress would be awesome!
