https://www.bearblog.dev is one of the least friction ways I am aware of to start blogging.

Looks pretty nice for a hosted platform solution. I'd argue that even lower friction in some ways is just installing a Nostr relay (heck, it can be to your phone through the app store) and pointing a long form Nostr client at it like Yakihonne. Probably would also want to point to one or two other relays just to get it out there to the world, but having your own relay ensures that you've always got your work backed up, and that nobody could possibly censor what you're writing.

Guess it's not QUITE as quick to set up as creating a login, but considering the resiliency you get from it it's pretty darn painless. Best of all Nostr is all key based logins, so just think about those seconds you save typing in usernames and passwords!

Also handy in that if you're involved with other work across Nostr, it's all tied right back through that identity. Be it podcasts (fountain.fm), livestreaming (zap.stream), static video content (flare.pub), travel content (satlantis.io), or whatever else you may be playing with.
