Hello everyone.
I’m going to make a site with just articles and pictures. I’m thinking to use bootstrap because it load faster than Wordpress and probably my site will be ranking better. Am I right ?
 
Depending on what you want, easy-to-use pick WordPress with some caching plugin or fast and more effort in development you can pick Bootstrap.

You are wrong.
Loading fast won't make your site rank better.

Isn't that just technically a blog..
or non-service sites :p
The ideal thing is, if you can build your site without wordpress and maintain it well &/or cheap with good optimization etc.
Then that's usually the better way to go.
If you want more flexibility with the lovely additional of bloatware, than wordpress.

I think it would be much easier for you to get ahead with Wordpess then solve whatever challenges you face than go the other way around. You may be be able to sort out load speed issues with wordpress as well.

Do you know that you can build a front page with Bootstrap and then use Wordpress for the rest in the backend? In fact you could build an API to showcase the content in your Bootstrap page based on a headless Wordpress installation.
Even though, I would rather chose wordpress all the way. With bootstrap you need to do everything from scrach, it will take dozens of hours to make it happen when Wordpress basically gives you all you need simply out of the box.

Plain wordpress is very fast and doesn't have almost any bloat. Problem is when the people find the Wordpress plugins repos and they think this is like the Play Store and they start installing plugins at random to try them. But you can keep WP very lean and extremely fast if you leave it as-is
 
Ghost all the way. haven't been back to wordpress in 5 years.
 
I will go with bootstrap for sake speed and convenience. WordPress for sake of doing anything possible.
 
by handling the website by yourself
I think you should you with the Wordpress
 
You are comparing an apple with an orange. Bootstrap is a(n ancient) opinionated css framework. Wordpress is a cms platform, which is a different thing. In fact, you could use bootstrap and wp together for that matter.

I would suggest tailwind if you had to use bootstrap.

Its actually quiet simple. Use bootstrap as frontend theme and use wordpress as backend. When you create bootstrap frontend, its like creating wordpress theme where you just have to follow the wordpress theme requirement.

I've wanted to move to Ghost for a couple of years. Does it need much technical knowledge to set up? Also, is it easy to customize like WP?

What is opinionated? The phrase is meaningless to me.

I can't use CMS. It will never give me the power of pure assembly. I don't want CMS.

Bootstrap is better for landing pages. It's easier to make use of and it's easier to install individual classes.

Tailwind is complicated to setup in other projects. You need to filter classes, so you're not using useless stuff and creating big .css files.

I don't know.

Well, I just listed all problems I had making tailwind a better choice if you have time to setup.

And yeah, you need to be careful to not blow your money on some tailwind library. There's plenty of people pushing tailwind ui libraries for money.

Assembly is gonna let me change things that I care about, which is cloaking links etc.

I mean the problems start to occur when you use cms / framework backending, react, tailwind, some tooling, all at once. God damn it, you only need one thing. I had all four and complained why my work is so time consuming. I wanted to do 6 projects in different hard, technical niches. Was I challenging myself.

Was I doing mistakes... But who doesn't make mistakes doesn't pave the road to success.
