Ruby Blog: Toto vs Nesta

Question

I need a simple and lightweight blog engine that plays well with Heroku.

Answer 1

Personally I'm a big fan of Octopress. It uses Jekyll in the background, is easy to theme and customize, has a nice list of features and plugins, is easy to hack and generates static HTML, which is perfect for my needs.

BTW: this question is rather off-topic on Stack Overflow.

Answer 2

I think Nesta has gained the most traction so far - the mailing list is pretty active, and the plugin collection is growing. I recently migrated all my websites to it.
