Looking through the writefreely.org instances on their website, a lot of the links are dead or closed for registration. The one that is open and working is promoting a paid version. Is hosting a writefreely instance heavy on resources, attracting the wrong people or just not “cool” enough?
Literally just set one up yesterday on neocities, it was surprisingly easy. Of course then I managed to break it because I’m not as familiar with git as I’d like to be lol.

Thanks, I was also doubting about Hugo but came about writefreely as well.
It depends on how you want to write. If you want to use a web interface, WriteFreely is decent. If you like your text editor, Hugo is fantastic.
