User blog

A blog feature like on chess.com would be good. I do not want to use a non-free(as in freedom) site just for one feature.
You can kinda do it using public studies. But I would also like some kind of blogging feature.
Yes, we can share our chess experiances on the blog, also we can have conversations on this blog by having forum related to it. This does exist on lichess, but only mods can create this blogs. I wish we users can have the power of creating the blogs. We can also have different section of it, like the forum one. This is hard to get, but it be really nice.
Thx.
That raises an interesting question.

My first thought was: "There's probably something that's easy to integrate." (i.e. existing blogging software written in Scala, could be extended to users/accounts)

When I search "scala blogging software" or "list of scala software" -- Nothing obvious pops-out. (The "Scala" theme is due to LiChess being written primarily in Scala -- and, best to stay in keeping with the theme.) You get various blogs ABOUT Scala, but nothing Scala-specific in terms of either personal or enterprise platforms.

BUT, I'm not familiar with the Scala ecosystem. (For that matter, as much JS is used, could just as easily be a JS-type blogging software, which is easily available.) Whereas, with PHP or Python ... you have obvious choices, I don't see any blogging-specific software stacks, frameworks or platforms for Scala.

Probably the best list of Scala software I scanned was here ... (github) lauris/awesome-scala

As an after-thought, the only "chess" reference on that list is: (github) marianogappa/ostinato

Piggy-back question: Is there any blogging software written in Scala? (I'm sure there is, I'm just not familiar.) And, if so, how easy or hard would that be to implement? (i.e. extending to users)

Secondary (rhetorical) question: If such does not exist, is it not worth investing a little time in? (However, I'm not a Scala dev, and even as a learning project, off my radar, I don't have the time to invest in this right now.)
