The application serving this page started life as GoBlog, written by Jan-Lukas Else, and I’d recommend it warmly if what you want is a blog. It’s a single Go binary which speaks the whole IndieWeb alphabet, has no build step and no JavaScript framework anywhere near it, and that last part is why I picked it over roughly a dozen alternatives.
