week 1, phase 3.
Decision is almost made, considering a site based on hybrid solutions:
Newsletter -> buttondown
stories -> writefreely
interactions/comments -> lemmy (where stories from writefreely will spread to fediverse) and at this point I find less useful to federate Writefreely, given that this platform has no comments. Makes sense a "reply via e-mail" pointing to LetterBird page I have, and "follow [category/community] on Lemmy to comment via Fediverse.
What's missing? A stable navigation menu, and an internal search engine. Found a way to place a landing for the site, through writefreely's admin settings.
Ghost, even in the latest 6.10 version, is excluded. Tried it, and its accessibility is very very poor! It takes time to get rid of various interface elements not properly rendered by screen readers. Ghost is a clear adjustment due to obligations, not an "accessibility by design" project organization.
My main (no longer so hidden) intention is get rid of WordPress, despite self-hosted its philosophy is drastically changing.
And I even have Bearblog which solves some of the issues for nav menu and maybe search bar, but it's a centralized platform depending on one person only. Of course accessibility is the main focus, both in back and front-end.

Any suggestion or feedback is highly appreciated, this month will be dedicated to tests and experiments.
