What Is Bear Blog?
Bear Blog helps creators or random folks put a word on the web. Simple, short, and easy to use. Herman Martinus stands behind the project. You can check the source code on Github.
Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an indiviual blog system. It is more like Medium than Jekyll. Due to this it currently isn’t possible to self-host Bear Blog as an individual blog. — BearBlog ReadMe.
