## What it is
Bear Blog is a free, minimalist blogging platform built in Python that serves extremely fast blogs with no JavaScript, stylesheets, or trackers. It is a hosted platform (more like Substack than Hugo) rather than a self-hostable static site generator, with post content written in Markdown.

## Use cases
- start a fast minimalist blog
- write blog posts in markdown
- publish a blog without trackers or javascript
- host a personal writing site like substack
- create a lightweight blog with no stylesheets
- run a distraction-free blogging platform

## When to choose
- you want a super-fast, no-nonsense hosted blog
- you value privacy and minimalism over customization
- you want to write in markdown without managing infrastructure
