[REQUEST] Flat File Blog Recommendations

[InHomeComputerHelp.com]

Not a big Mysql fan. I was wondering if anyone was using anything like Htmly or Flatpress. I like the portability of a flat file.

You don't mention the purpose... but if you just want CMS, you can try Grav.

Mostly for a blog. Have you used this yourself?

I've played around with it. I'm considering using it when I redo our website later this year.

What about a static site generator like Hugo?

I haven't heard of that right now my website is php driven by my own design

For me it's portability but I understand speed can be a factor as well

My impression is it's more susceptible to data corruption, though? No?

I don't see how, but a simple ftp download will back it up instead of having to export the db.

Simplicity, speed.
You also have to consider Wordpress is one of the most targeted platforms on the web.

Currently our website is hand coded using an HTML5 template. I'm considering using Grav because it will essentially allow me to build an identical site based on HTML5 but give me some content management abilities to do edits to the site quickly and easily. It's kind of a pain to do edits in its current state.

For a small site, Grav is pretty nice. For something more involved, I prefer a mysql based.

I'm starting to look at Typesettercms since it's been around for so long according to my research. Any opinions?

Dang Grav stated it was missing a file when I tried to install.

You know a little php and javascript will allow for some easy general editing
